While the sound effects that are thought to occur diagetically serve to make the environment in which our characters are found to seem more interactive and real, the music and dialogue are sound elements that help to communicate the films genre. Otherwise, music was used to suggest moods in other scenes in which it was playing, like when Nemo gets captured, the upbeat tempo played when Dori and Marlin are en route to Nemo after receiving more encouragement and/or facts about their and his whereabouts, and the piercing horror music featured whenever Darla, the dentist’s niece a.k.a fish killer, is featured in a scene.Īside from the fact we as humans cannot understand fish even if they could communicate, the other diagetic sounds characteristic to this film, such as the sound of bubbles, splashing, swimming, raindrops, etc., are quite realistic and effective in helping do their part in creating a well-rounded mise en scene. Lack of music is also used for dramatic effect at the end of the film when Marlin thinks he lost Nemo forever, potentially symbolizing how sad, lonely, and empty he feels by way of the scene’s emptiness of background noise by music. From the beginning of the film music was present, peaceful, lovely, and then, a lack of sound and music hinted at the fact that something terrible had happened to Marlin’s wife and 399 of his kids. Lastly, music was used a lot in this film to suggest mood. Instead of showing a scene only visually, sounds accompany what is seen (the bubble, moving fins, biting jaws, etc.) to engage our other senses to create further realism, which is especially important to include in a cartoon film in which the scenes created consist of animated pictures, not actors working to bring the film to life with their performance. Sound effects, such as bubbles, waves, splashing of fins, the “chomp” made when a larger fish attempts to take a bite of a smaller one, the sound of thunder and raindrops, etc., are included and add to scenes they exist in to make it appear more alive. Bruce, although he may be part of twelve-step program not to eat fish, is still a shark, so although he has pledged not to eat fish, his voice is still menacing to depict the ever present possibility of him behaving threateningly towards the fish he encounters. Crush, is an easy-going turtle surfing the jet stream, and has a laid-back “surfer” tone and uses relaxed vocabulary to further paint his character appropriately. For instance, Marlin’s voice is high-strung and conscientious as he is constantly worrying. Lastly, it helps with characterization, as the different characters all use different vocabularies, accents, and tones depending on their background and personality.
#FINDING NEMO DARLA SOUND EFFECT MOVIE#
As the movie progresses, dialogue assists in supporting the plot progression, with animals coming into contact with Nemo or his father spreading the word about their experiences to others with news traveling fast of their predicament and leading other animals to be willing to help them reconnect, clues about Nemo’s location being shared and recited over and over by Dori as her and Marlin trek to get there, and information about what will happen in Nemo’s future if he is to not escape via the drain (he would become dead upon entering the clutches of Darla) by well-meaning and knowledgable supporting characters.
From the beginning, key information was given about characters, such as Nemo’s “lucky fin,” the location of where they lived (a protected, safe neighborhood, unlike the “drop off”), and about the over-protective and suffocating relationship between Marlin, Nemo’s dad, and Nemo. One of these was sound in the form of dialogue, sound effects, and music.ĭialogue, is conversation between characters, which serves to assist in “, enhance characterizations, and establish key information the audience needs to know in an efficient manner” (Goodykoontz, B. In this film, many elements were utilized toward creating a successful and compelling mise en scene.
