Sound in the film

The most important diegetic sound in our short film is the dialogue; our film relies heavily on exposition to explain what is going on to the audience. The actresses in our short film have regional dialect, and our screen play contains many colloquialisms as these are important in creating representations of social classes and regional identities. In our film we have used internal diegetic voice over to refer to The Girls thoughts. A direct mode of address is also present in our film, the very last sentence “Well, what do you think?” said by Anna, is aimed directly at the audience. Although breaking the fourth wall is often used for comic effect, in Imagine Pageant we used it to make the final sentence stick in the audiences mind. The mode of address used is peer to peer. The non diegetic sound we used is the music; this is most direct in its emotional effect. The particular times in the film that we used the music were chosen specifically to transform a scene into a more solemn moment. It is non diegetic, incidental score music that we used to manipulate the audiences emotions and also to highlight the significance of the mirror scene.
