Sound Off With Rob Ellis
Rob’s brand new video centers around the use of music and how it can impact a scene, going over some terms and trying them out, analyzing the end result as he goes along.
As always, Rob takes us on a visual step by step journey, trialing different tracks and explaining his choices. This allows us to see what works and what doesn’t, and see into Rob’s thought processes as a cinematic creator.
Video Highlights
The video covers:
- Video and audio pairing, giving us an example of how the footage doesn’t quite match up to the music, and how he needs something darker to convey what’s going on visually
- Rob then tries a different track, but the tempo is a little too fast and dramatic. He then finds a more atmospheric one that works.
- He explains the difference between diegetic and non-diegetic sound in film, and then adds it in diegetically, with the character turning on a radio to start the music in the scene
- Rob then goes on to blend diegetic and non-diegetic music, explaining how this is in contrast with the visuals, and adds to the unsettling feeling. He also explains how the move into non-diegetic music helps to tap into what the character might be feeling.
