1. The first image that we can see is Joe struggling to escape from the crevasse at he start of his climb. The type of music that we heard gives a mood of suspense. The music start with slow tempo who increase during his climbing of the crevasse. During this climbing, we heard the fast breathe whose is a diegetic song.
2. After, there is a sudden cut from joe's climbing to the mountainous landscape. The music change totally like an explosion whose gives an effect of hope. The audience can make the deduction that he going to go out of this crevasse.
3. When Joe lies on the snow, after escaped from the crevasse, the mood again changed with the music it is used. The music is more calm and peaceful, we have a feeling of liberty that he finally business output.
4. But after we saw picture of all the glacier around the character. The camera stop it on him and we heard his voice on voiceover. He said something really important :' I look the glasses and I though I haven't stated mate, it is miles and miles to grow'. The music change again in something more worrying. The music go with the filming of all this panorama who give now nota feeling of something beautiful and peaceful but more another challenge who he has to achieve.

Glossary

 Still with the first 6 min film 'Sherlock Holmes' , I am going to use the sound glossary to use the appropriate media terms.

1. Diegetic: It is what we can heard and see in a frame at the same time, like the hoof of the horse or the shotgun
2. Non-diegetic: It is what we heard but can't see in the frame, like the music in the background here it is the piano and all the orchestra that following.
3. Ambient: It is when the sound inform whats happened at the moment that give an atmosphere, like in 'Sherlock Holmes' when the tempo in the music in progression to show the action is going to be .
4. SFX: This is all the sound effect. In the frame we can think the sound is record in the same time that it is filming, but to put more effect the sound is done after and add after too. Like when we heard the hoof of the horses is just two coconut strike one against the other.
5. Mood: The mood is the sound who describe more the feeling of the character.
6. Tone: The tone is more used to give a rhythm and a feeling to what can happened in the next frame. That can give a feeling of fear, romance, action or drama. 
7. Genre: This is the genre of music, like classic music, dancing music, etc...
8. Themes music: This is genre of the sound characterises what kind of film the audiences going to see. For example in a horror movie with can heard a specific kind of sound or just listen the shotgun give an idea of the genre of film.
9. Voiceover: This is when in the film people talking but we can see them in the frame or when the narrator speak to explain what people do or to explain a situation. For example in the film 'Amelie Poulain' the first minutes we see a lot of situation of people but it is just the narrator who speak.
10. Musical Score: The musical score is a original music created for the film and plays at different points throughout the film, like in 'Titanic'.
11. Synchronous sound: This is included all noises whose origin can be seen on-screen, like in 'Sherlock Holmes' the sound of the flame.
12. Asynchronous sound: This is any noise whose origin you can't see.
13. Contrapuntal: This is al the noise or sound effect which doesn't in agreement with what we seen on-screen, that is give an effect of the film.
14. Silence: It is use to give more importances about the other sound on-screen, when in a movie we haven't sound we are more focalised on all the other sound. Like in the film 'Hunger' we are more focus about the door opening, when we heard about the medicine test  or to listen a kind or breathe.

1. Selective Sound: This is used to emphasise key sound elements within a frame.

1. Sound Bridges: This is the sound who help to pass of one sequence to another.

Sound in Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes

 Today , I am going to speak about the sound in the first 5 min of the film 'Sherlock Holmes'. This is a film by Guy Ritchie adapted by the book of Lionel Wigram.

 In the first 5 minutes we can heard at the beginning the piano who start with a clam tempo and accelerates when we heard the hood of horses. The music in the background start to be more dramatic. It is in agreement with the sound of the wheel of the horse carige. After that still on the principal sound we can heard the shotgun, the sound of the raven, the running, the door opening and the broken glass.


 Diegetic sound are:

• the hood of horse
•  the wheel of the horse carige
•  shotgun; raven
• the character running
•  the door opening
• broken glass

Non diegetic sound are:

• The piano at the beginning
• The orchestra who progressively accelerates  

 The theme music of this clip is totally dramatic, who introduce the character running to escape the other character who follow him to kill him. That show the atmosphere we are going to watch in the hereinafter.
