Directors Commentary

My Directors Commentary was on Money Talks, a film starring Chris Tucker. 

This is my Director commentary in text form just in case you didn't understand parts f what I was saying 

First of all we start off with a soulful love song being played over the institution. This could instantly connote that the film could be soul and love. Then there is another sound of which sounds like someone is singing to the song which we heard initially while the song is still running. This then bridges to the actual opening title sequence. This is known as a sound bridge.

As we enter the actual opening title sequence, the sound of someone singing increases as we are presented with how is singing. This shows to the audience that this is diegetic. However, it is not clear that the song is either diegetic or non-diegetic. The fact that the person singing the song and repeating the words (who we assume is the main character) is singing it in nearly a way which many will find comedic which connotes that the film might comedy film.

We also can hear diegetic sound of movement and tapping which connotes that the character singing is dancing which is he is.

In the middle of hearing the singing of the character, you hear an inappropriate word mentioned. This connotes what sort of target audience the film is aimed at being 15 and over due to the inappropriate language.

Then after you can hear the sound of cars driving which connotes that cars are involved while you can still hear the sound of singing from the character and the song playing over still.

After there is a segment of dialogue which sounds between characters. Then after this dialogue the audience will hear the same sounds, being the sound of cars driving and song over the top. However the character is not singing anymore.

Now you can hear it in podcast form:
