X-MEN sound analysis

Music:

the music is playing all the way through the clip, from start to end.

the music plays all the way through to give a link between all of the video, it’s a constant through the video so we know it’s all one thing.

Dialogue: Speech happens at:

the dialogue is there is the scene to give us an idea of the characters, for example the way they speak and what kind of things they say can give us very detailed information on what kind of a person they are, for example rogue is very shy, we can tell this because of the way she speaks in the video.

0:04 - 0:05 wolverine saying “what is this place?”

0:12 - 0:13 kid saying “hey, no powers!”

1:06 - 1:07 storm saying “john!” and him replying with “sorry”

1:12 - 1:16 “hi i’m bobby, what’s your name?”

1:16 - 1:17 rogue: “rogue”

1:28 - 1:30 “welcome to mutant high”

Voice-over

The voice over is a mixture of diegetic and nondiegetic sound in this case, for example we know that logan can hear the professor speaking but the other’s can’t, but us as the viewer can, the voice over is giving us information just as it is logan too, we’re put into logan’s position and we get to learn everything we need to.
