X VODCAST3: Sound; Genre Signification

In this vodcast i will be looking at music played in film openings.  Some music is diegetic where the source of the sound is visible on screen or when the source is implied to be present in the action of the film.  There is also non-diegetic music where the source is neither visible nor implied to be in the action on screen.  We will be looking at some warp films, some working title films and some films with the zombie genre.

• Le donk and scor-zay-zee

The movie Le donk and scor-zay-zee was directed by shane meadows and was released in 2009 with a 5 day shoot with a 48 thousand pounds budget

There is an audio bridge of the diegetic sound of a crowd cheering/screaming and a helicopter from a black screen to the first shot.  

This is foley sound as it was added in in post production, however it cleverly creates verisimilitude

There is also the faint sound of music in the background.

At around 27 seconds, there is the sound of someone talking from a walkie talkie

At around 45 seconds, the sound of the crowd gets louder and then non-diegetic music starts playing without a fade which then continues to play over the animated title sequence.

This music is incidental as it was made for the movie

This non-diegetic music signifies a comedic genre with a younger target audience as it is a hip hop rap genre
