Old Habits


This clip does well with sound when it comes to the music and the end and the slamming of the door, but the use of space is limited. The context of this clip though does limit that, a 5second Film is supposed to be only five seconds, which is what gives it its popularity, so the use of space in a scene cannot be too much, or your time wold be exceeded. You are using semantic listening to gain the information that there is a horse on the other end of the computer, talking to the man who was obviously raised in a barn, which is one of our listening modes. As the first man slams the door, our focus is turned directly toward him, making us use referential sound. This is exactly what we need to see and exactly where our attention goes because it is the basis for the entire scene ahead. When it comes to space, we follow the directionality of the first man as he enters the room through the door and then immediately exits the other side, going from left to right. The movement in this scene is small since two out of the three humans that are in the scene are sitting, while one moves. The movement of man two as he speaks to his horse is slight, but still enough to convey the emotion needed to let the audience know that he WAS raised in a barn and he does miss his horse.
