Sounds of movies

There are three basic categories of sound in film.  The first we will look at is dialogue.  In the Film: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, there is dialogue throughout.  Simply put, dialogue is characters speaking with each other.  In the film there is important dialogue that is very meaningful to the overall story.  There's not much filler dialogue involved and that is what make it very good.



Next up we have sound effects.  Now the one thing i hear when I think of sound effects and Indiana Jones is obviously his whip.  Also when punches are landed, it reminisces other classic action movies. There is both expected sound effects and almost comical sounds.  But if these sounds were removed, it wouldnt give the same impact to the viewer that it does now. In all seriousness the sound effects in this film are amazing.  I laughed so hard at this next video and I had to post it, I hope you enjoy it.


And finally, we come to Music.  As with the sound effects and the whip, who doesn't know and love the Indian Jones Theme music?  Aside from that, the action scene's music is pretty intense too. Without the action music playing in the background during fights and what-not it would be an empty fight scene.  It definitely adds to the movie magic.  And what would this film be without this wonderful theme song?  Another part of what makes this movie amazing.


Now this song will be stuck in all of your heads.  You're welcome.
