Sound

In terms of my documentary there are different types of sound that I could have used and did in fact use.



For my documentary I used non-Diegetic sound in my documentary to set the mood and to show that contrast between two countries. There was post-synchronized sound used near the beginning with the footage of trees and we as a group chose to add bird sounds to make Kinshasa sound a little like paradise. We also added parallel sound to go with the right footage for example we used African music to go along with the shots of Kinshasa. We also used a sound bridge which occurred as the interview with Aristote was coming to close and the music came in as a crescendo into the next footage. There was a lot of ambient sound used throughout the documentary to make it look and sound more realistic. I think we could have done the foley session but it would have taken up so much time and I don't think it was nessessary.
