  • Music
  • Dialogue
  • Voiceover
  • Sound effects
    opening scene from Edgar Wright's Baby Driver:

You also need to highlight or put in bold any use of media language.

From the opening scene from Edgar Wrights Baby Driver  the realistic sound such as:the car engine and the music from the iPod are all diegetic sounds.the background music is in fact non-diegetic as only the audience could hear it as it gives the audience a energetic vibe to the scene. The paralelle sound atched the car actionswith the music beat as its smooth together and the music also stands out at the same time rather than the regular sound around the characters as it adds more depth to the scene which is the contrapuntal sound.

Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response

Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response Create a new blogpost called ' Mise-en-scene video feedback and learner response '. Make sure your completed recreation video is uploaded to YouTube and embedded in the blogpost. 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full. This is a good recreation that meets the brief. Picking a school-based scene made sense and I like the way you’ve deliberately picked locations in the school to match as closely as you could to the original clip. Co-ordinating a recreation with five actors is not easy – either in organisation or camerawork! You’ve done well to recreate some of those shots effectively.
