Studiobinder knows how to impact and engage audiences to new filmmakers. I love to say thank you for educating us about being filmmaker and cinematographer which allowed us to gain knowledge and enjoy what we love.
The funny thing is, I actually did listen to a lot of movies when I was a child. My brother and I got half an our of TV time a day, so we spent hours in the living room listening to movies with the monitor turned off. We had a bloody good time and got to know the movies very well on an interesting level.
When I was a kid in the 80s, we didn't have a VCR so I would tape record the movies and play them back audio only. You notice so much more going on when all you have is the sound to go on.
It's incredible how many movies you guys pull great examples from, how do you find all these great examples? Does your staff just have lot of combined movie knowledge? haha. Your videos continue to get better and better!
Even though I knew the basic distinction between Diegetic and Non-diegetic, this video was still extremely helpful for some of the finer details Even then, I would still watch this video if I knew everything as it is just super entertaining to watch and is really well presented
The guide is perfect, but the chosen references blow my mind! - as always! Make me want to re-watch all those movies once again. And there are some that I never watched, and I find that I need to. As a video editor, the sound is my secret weapon. This team is just incredible. Long life StudioBinder! Luv you!
The Stranger/Narrator in The Big Lebowski actually appears about halfway through the movie, and appears for a second time at the end. This video was incredibly interesting! Subscribed
I don't know how you do it, guys...I always finish your videos feeling like I've been watching a movie. A "based on true facts - doc/drama movie". I'm now totally amazed, inspired, perplexed, etc.... By the way, the narrator's voice on these is gold.
It's like learning grammar in School, u know u make /understand sentences, but now you r learning em in parts n wat they r called in precise, you are a school to us-cinephiles.
I was low-key expecting the narrator of Studio Binder (or this video) to show his face at the end of the video to tell us that the entire video was Trans-Diegetic. This was super helpful!! I cannot thank StudioBinder enough for their work. More power to you guys. ♥♥♥︎
I just noticed that they use vocal samples from James Brown's songs as on-street noise in "Big" (around 4:09 and 4:13 in this video). That is some creative sound design!
The first time that I realized that sound was very important was in the movie Titanic. The camera goes up on the stairs and then passes the big clock where you can hear it ticking. Love that.
The most interesting thing about sound in movies still is that fact that most of it is fake. Most props in movies don't make the sound they would do in real life. Most props are designed in such a way to make as little sound as possible to not disturb important sounds in the scene or dialogs and if you want a prop to make a clearly noticeably sound, they are overdubbed with sound from a sound studio that has not been created using a similar prop at all but creates the kind of sound most viewers expect to hear that moment. The advantage of overdubbing is that you can make it sound more real than the real thing and you have perfect control over pitch, echoing and loudness in the scene. If you see a character pressing a light switch in close up and you can hear that light switch in the movie, you can bet that what you hear is not the sound the light switch produced that you are actually watching, it may not even be the sound from a light switch at all but just some other thing that makes a similar clicking noise.
you guys should have wayy more subscriber like I've just known your channel recently after seeing old and new videos.. till now I'm still like "whatt this is freee?".. I just wanna say Thank you for all the free lessons.. keep up the amazing workk studiobinder..
You totally had me at Singing In The Rain juxtaposition in A Clockwork Orange! Hands down one of my absolute favorite sound design elements of any movie scene. It was totally ad libbed by Malcolm McDowell. Kubrick loved it so much he promptly convinced the studio to shell out the $10k for the rights to use the song. Love it! 5:11
I was just on set yesterday with a friend and we were discussing how Paul Thomas Anderson’s famous non-diegetic sound is constantly used in his films like Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, and Magnolia. The sound, specifically called “Clementine’s Loop” adds a detailed, but so ambiguous feel to what may or may not happen in the film.
Love the video! Around 11:42 when you mention the opening sequence in Big Lebowski - I would like to add that the non diegetic music seamlessly transforms into the music being playing in the grocery store as The Dude is introduced sniffing a milk carton he’s considering purchasing. I’ve always loved that detail.
I'm kind of wondering what's your secret from making such good videos! Like how do you chose your movie scenes ? do you have all of them in mind, in an image bank ? So relevant !
Unrelated to the video: 16:42 i love how in the studiobinder videos, whenever he says stuff like "Even though we typically watch movies, there's plenty of reason we should be listening to movies just as closely" then shows someone saying " What is that?" . Its really funny and interesting to watch.
The most important aspect for me is sound because my ears are so sensative. I spend more time on my sound design than I do on my visuals XD but never had a word for it. Thank you.
The non-diegetic sounds in “Uncut Gems” had my on edge, the pacing of the film and sounds made my heart race. Literally had to go to another environment outside the theater immediately after to decompress.
@@StudioBinder You did an example of Tarantino’s movies, th-cam.com/video/3HEo_dYt92A/w-d-xo.html. I didn’t understand about diegetic and non-diegetic sound. But now, I understand better.
I remember a film starring Gerard Depardieu called "Too Beautiful For You" that had a scene with a piece by Schubert(?) playing in the background. Depardieu suddenly realizes the music is on the stereo. He had thought it was in his head because "it's tearing me apart!"
The fifth element has this part called the diva dance were an opera sings but it happens in parallel with a fight scene (at a different location). Making the diegetic music trans-diegetic.
You missed the greatest use of Digetic and non digetic sound use. Stranger than fiction use this as a main tool to tell the story. But none the less thanks for all this info. very very useful.
@@StudioBinder yes you guys are framing what we see and practice over the years into order and how to "name it". I wish you have a pdg with all your vocabilary. Do you?
This is such an excellent guide to sound in films! But the one part that stops me from showing it to my students (year 7) is the flash of the scene from 'A Clockwork Orange'. So disappointing. This is the best video to explain all these elements.
I actually listen to movies without the picture all the time at work. I put them on my phone in my pocket and play them in my earbuds when I don't feel like listening to a podcast or music. It's fun to rate which movies are specifically "good movies to listen to" vs "good movies to watch".
You guys always come through at the right times! Currently editing my new movie and sound/ music choices has been what I have been working on over the last week or so. I want to make it really pop! Thank you for this video and all the other ones you do. It really helps!
Non filmmaker here, but huge film fan! I’m loving this channel! So, I simply must now ask a question: What about the way Star Wars: Andor used its music? I saw in a BTS show about it that the orchestra was on set the entire filming period so that they were playing the music that was attached to the scene as the scene was being filmed. Generally, scene orchestration would be non diagetic, but this is music that the actors hear as they act out the roles, and some would say that therefore the characters are hearing it to.
Have you ever listened to a movie?!! Yes. There used to be a program on our local radio, every Sunday, where the audio of the movie was played. It would be shorter in length but it was amazing to listen to those. Of course, they were more dialogue-oriented and the scenes where visual items communicate more would be tough to understand if you already hadn't watched the movie.
Not the movies and not sound but I used to love when the old US TV show _Green Acres_ would display the (supposedly non-diegetic) onscreen credits and the characters themselves would comment on them, e.g. “Whose names are those?” It completely fit the totally absurd, surreal quality of the show.
tarantino's once upon a time in hollywood is full of transdiegetic sound. been thinking about howthe structure for at least 18 months, not knowing what it was called. i have noticed it on other movies since then too. thanks for the label and for the other examples

Another class production. And my favourite narrator is back! Never stop making these videos.
No plans on stopping :)

its amazing how sound is used to show the audience the characters mood and the setting of the movie without any words at all
its a true art
definitely an art unto itself
