Tone and Pitch

Pitch has to do with inflection - the rise and fall of your voice, volume

Tone is the expression in your voice. What emotions you want the listener to feel, based on how you deliver your speech; your attitude towards a certain subject. These can be feelings of sympathy, anger, ridicule, sarcasm, empathy, happiness; being docile, candid, humble, indifferent, subjective, etc.

‘OMG, that’s like totally reem!’

‘Excuse me please, would you mind awfully if it’s not too much trouble, if you would kindly pass me the salt.’

‘That is like well sick, init bruv.’

‘What a f***king idiot.’

What pitch and tone would be used when speaking these phrases?

To consolidate your understanding of key sound terms:

Watch a clip on youtube of your choice – either TV drama or film – embed in your blog and write how either age, gender, ethnicity or class is represented through sound – discussing at least 2 different characters – focus on who is superior and inferior

e.g. The high pitched tone of the female character’s diegetic dialogue connotes her as out of control and emotional.

Ext: Consider non-diegetic sounds e.g. soundtrack, added sound effects

HMK: Analyse a TV drama or film clip for the representation of stereotypes through sound and mise en scene – 500 words – min time spent 30-40 mins

DIEGETIC – present within the scene at the time of filming

NON-DIEGETIC – added sound in the edit

Use as many key terms as possible!
