Film language: Sound presentations




This extract is of the Cartoon version of Batman and has many different media key languages which is linked with sound. As you can see at the beginning of the extract, there was an explosion of the building. Normally, you would hear the sound of an explosion. However, in this case, there was the sound of music which obviously states that it is non-diegetic and it's also contrapuntal. The reason for this is because the music track didn't have anything to do with what is being shown on screen (the close up shot of the building). 

On the other hand, the music played at the explosion was then continued onto the next scene which was of the Bat Mobile. And the music that was being played did go parallel to the car (it could suggest that Batman was in a hurry since the music was being played at such a fast tempo). It also suggests that it is diegetic. This audio that was played over two different scenes could be that it was none as a sound bridge, which shows the audience that Batman is on his way because he knows there was danger around the city.

Then as the extract goes on to the end, it then becomes contrapuntal because again, that same fast tempo music didn't really link to the part where those two people had been tied together.
