Homework 4
Tchnical Terms: Voice
Sound and Silence
There is alot of silence in my scene because lynette is quite a meloncholic character so the scene isnt full of talking and joyous emotions. Also Callum and lynette both no that lynette has given up but callum tries to give hope to lynette but she tries to fight back, this means pauses and silence occurs alot in this scene. There is also alot of seriousness because of the recent event with jude and lynetes fight.
An exampe;
Callum: Lynny, you are alright, aren't you?
(PAUSE)
Lynette: i dont know.
Pitch and Pace
Voices are quite varied in this scene. I noticed when i was asking a question my voice got higher and when Jake (callum) asked a question it was low and serious. When we start disagreeing the pitch gets higher and the pace gets much faster and angrier. When i leave callum instantly stops me using a fast tempo this builds up tension and creates excitement. I like the different ranges of pace in our scene because it makes it interesting and you can also show the characters objective through how fast or slow there talking. Emotions in this scene are also cleary shown with how we change our pitch and pace.
An example;
Lynette:I do. I know i was living in a fantasy world before but at least i was somewhere. Now i'm nowhere.
Inotation
There isnt much of a range of Intonation during this scene because callum and lynette are siblings so neither of them demand eachother to do things and they are also quiet characters. However a few lines you can tell lynette wants callum to answer her question;
lynette: which is-?
this is short and simple but i have chosen to emphasise it so she seems demanding and also as if she is doubting callum.
Also another example shows that callums voice rises when he is trying to proove me wrong this starts to build up a disagreement which really helps because it means i know when i need to start chanign my pitch and reacting.
Volume
My character uses a basic volume in this scene. Lynette is very quiet character so i chose to be very soft in the way i speak. This is simple but it has a great effect because the audience can instantly tell my character and see my
emotions. My voice is the;
loudest- 'You know what i miss, i miss being bonker'
im my loudest saying this because its a confession that is angrier and upset at the same time so its as if im bursting it out
quietest- 'No.You?'
im the quietest here because im lost at the start of the scene and ive just walked in callums room.
Tone color
The differences in quality of voice are quite interesting because mostly its warm and understandng but sometimes it gets cold and abbrupt.
Here are two examples;
- lynette: I told you were aloud to blink. D'you remember? That the screen wasn't going to diappear.
here is where im refelcting and thinking about the past so my voice is gentle and calm
however here
'Doing what?!'
this is when i am confronting Callum about his future and trying to show him that things wont get better for me and noughts.
Emphasis
here are certain word that are emphasised;
- questions, 'how would we pay for that?'
this is emphasised because shes upset and angry
- End of sentences, 'further you have to fall'
the ends are sentences are emphasised so that so there is an effect and we can see clear emotions
- word after pauses, 'keep (PAUSE) going'
this is helpful because it makes the sentence interesting
