Hyper Realistic Sound

HYPER REALISTIC SOUND

Hyper realistic sound is when you hear a sound in a film that is unrealisticly louder than normal. eg a text message in a crowd. This is used to emphasise important parts from the film. 

In the terminator clip, the kid at the start of the video is breathing very heavily and you can hear it very clearly, more than you would in real life. You can even hear his breathing over the sound of the motorbikes engine going which is unrealistic. This is a good example of hyper realistic sound as it isn't a realistic volume. It also helps to build tension. Especially for the breathing in this clip as it emphasizes it to make it relate to the kids fear and makes it seem like you are there with him.






In the casino royale clip, at the very start, the agent in in the middle of a big crowd and everyone is cheering and shouting. the agent receives a text message and you can still hear his message tone go off even when he is among the crowd of people. This shows that text message is an important and relevant part of the scene otherwise it would seem insignificant and in the background. The producer has purposely made sure its unrealistically loud so as it catches the audiences attention.

Mickey Mousing

MICKEY MOUSING

In animation and film, Mickey Mousing, is a technique that syncs the accompanying music with the actions on screen. eg. playing ascending xylophone as a character runs up the stairs. This is very common in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Looney Toons. 


Mickey mousing is used at the start when the dog jumps onto Tom and when he is falling down through the air (descending), there is a woodwind instrument and it goes from a high pitch to a low pitch and stops when the dog hits Tom. This effective because the music imitates the actions that are happening on the screen so it emphasises the movements of the characters. This is mainly used in cartoons such as Tom and Jerrys it gives comedy effect in which case it can be used in any comedy sketches or scenes in films and it would have the same effect.

The same applies to this looney toons clip as Daffy duck throws bugs Bunny back down the rabbit hole. As he I

is falling/descending, there is a sort of woodwind instrument playing from a high pitch to a low pitch (descending notes). Almost exactly the same concept as the first example. 

This mickey mouse clip is another example of mickey mousing from where it originally came from. In this clip the caravan drives along the fence and you hear a xylophone playing at the same time. This time in ascending order perhaps to build excitement. This also adds a comedic effect and makes it more appealing to the younger audiences.
