We began today's lesson in the Mac room where the class was able to work individually on various clips from the Bond film, Casino Royale.The first task consisted of watching the trailer for Casino Royale.

Then we watched pre-recorded clips of the film's supervising sound editor, Eddy Joseph explaining how you can emphasise certain aspects within a frame and how you can manipulate an audience with sounds that correspond with the mise en scene, but are not visible.

Joseph described this as a way of adding information.We then had the opportunity to move around the sound on selected clips from the Casino Royale film. This task demonstrated that sound has a vital role in how well or how badly an audience will respond to a media text.Next, we were able to create our own soundtrack for three other selected sequences from the Bond film.After which we were given the chance to produce soundtracks for our individual footage that we had produced whilst in our groups, using Soundtrack Pro.
