Sound Task

Good Fellas 

                       

Several sound techniques have been used in this scene to recreate a night out in America during the 1960's.  For example, parallel music has been used in this scene to fit the era as the song that is playing throughout the scene (And Then He Kissed Me) was released in 1968. By doing this the song sets the time and place of the scene. Although is scene is a continuous shot there is a sound bridge as the music is still playing constantly as we move from one place to another until we reach their destination.The dialogue between Henry and the other characters is quite friendly and casual and this gives the audience the impression that he is well known and gives a sense of familiarity to the setting. Diegetic sound has been constantly used in this scene to emphasize on the atmosphere of the setting and to help the audience understand where the characters are i,e, the kitchen was quite loud and we could hear chopping sounds, chefs speaking over each other, and in the nightclub we can hear laughter, conversations  and the sound of clinking glass.
