Reaction paper-American Graffiti, Taxi Driver, or The Outsiders.
Write a 2 – 3 page reaction paper on your choice of the following movies. American Graffiti, Taxi Driver, or The Outsiders. After screening the movie, answer the following: How does the use of sound help to develop character, the narrative, or any other aspect of the movie? Your answer should include the three different types of film sound: vocal sounds (dialogue); environmental sounds (ambient and sound effects); and music (movie score). You also need to give examples of how these three types of sound fit into the categories of Diegetic and Non-Diegetic Sound. · Diegetic Sound (Ambient sound, Dialogue, and other sounds that belong to the world of the story) · Non-Diegetic Sound (Musical Score, Voice-overs (if appropriate), and other sounds that do not belong to the world of the story) You may also write on any other film elements or technique that you feel is relevant to your answer. NOTE: Sound is very difficult to write about so remember to be specific in your writing and give concrete examples from your chosen film to support your ideas or opinions.
