When looking at sounds and how they are used across media industries, one purpose of using sound elements is that they want to educate audiences. Producers use a variety of elements to try and explain information or their point of view to the audience. An example of where sound elements are used to educate the audience is in the radio drama "Rethinking Music".
I have chosen this example of educating as this episode is trying to explain and educate to the audience that the music industry is changing and what they think will happen to the future of music. The narrator states "I am a musician composer and educator. And in this series I am looking into span of music education and opportunities for students in the UK. Here we can see that the narrator is showing to the audience that he is going to go into detail music education and what opportunities there are for students in the UK.
Entertain
When looking into sound elements, there are many purposes of being used for the audience. In this instance, one purpose of using sound elements is to entertain the audience. Producers use sound elements to try and create excitement for audiences and make them laugh. An example of sound elements is used to entertain the audience is in the short clip of the film "Rush hour".
I have chosen this example to entertain the audience due to the dialogue that is said. An example of where this has entertained the audience is when the dialogue states "No, Yu is blind". This makes the audience be entertained and starts to make them laugh by the fact that the old man's name is Yu and one of the protagonists is not understanding this.
Inform
This sound element is used to tell the audience what is happening depending on the different topics that might be discussed. The purpose of using this sound element is to raise awareness about what is happening in the topic/show. An example of where this sound element is used is on TV. This is shown in the programme "BBC News".
I have chosen this example to show that this will inform the audience. The presenter is providing information to the audience that they will need to stay at home due to the pandemic. Here we can see that the presenter is using this sound element to inform the audience.
Sell products
This sound element is used to sell products to the audience. An example of where this is used is in a TV Advert "Haribo police advert". This TV advert was made to sell this product to the market. This music was used to make the audience to be attracted to purchase the sweets. The sound elements are meant to attract children and adults to purchase the sweets.
Wild Tracks
A wild track is an audio recording meant to synchronise with the media text. An example of where the sound element is used to show the wild track is in the computer game "Fortnite". In this clip, it shows there are gunshots going off maximising the effect so that the audience can believe it is real and feel more engaged within the computer game.
Atmospheric sounds
The sound element that is used here to is to try and create a certain mood. An example where atmospheric sounds are used are in the animation "SpongeBob". The sounds that are used here are short, fun and exciting. This creates a fun mood for the audience and allows them to enjoy the animation. Using these sound elements, we can see that it is allowing the audience to feel engaged in the animation.
Sound effects
This sound element is used to create an effect on the audience. For example, in the film "The Ballerina" we can see that the director placed in sounds effects to make the audience freak out with what's happening. They have used the simplest of sound effects to make the most tension within the film. Here we can see how the director has used sound effects to further enhance the meaning of the short film.
