APPLAUSE NOISE SERIES

In both cases, it’s almost impossible for a regular viewer to hear the sound and not associate it with the channel and the series they belong to. For example, the news broadcaster NBC has a signature three-note sound that accompanies its logo, and the Law & Order TV franchise is well-known for its “chung-chung”, gong-like transitions sound effect, that accompanies a black screen with descriptive text. It’s an old trick, extensively used across marketing and advertising, as well as TV productions. For example, an audio effect that accompanies key information on the screen. In presentations, pitches, ads, or other corporate or marketing videos, you can bring bullet points to life by using attention-grabbing sounds, particularly those with an electronic effect such as buzzers for negative or wrong information, or perky “clink!” noises for positive or correct data.Īnother good trick is to use sounds in connection with visuals you want people to remember. Using specific sounds, you can highlight moments or elements in your video that you want to make sure viewers pay attention to. A sudden dog bark in the middle of the night tells spectators a lot about what is happening and what might happen in the story ahead an echo effect for a voice we just heard gives the idea of a large but enclosed space abstract sounds that evoke movement –think of those “swoosh” effects– accompanying a fast-moving camera scene will enforce the notion of speed, rush, or urgency.

Sound is also a powerful narrative resource, in more than one way. The low murmur of people talking in a busy store, footsteps that match the steps of people walking, the sound of water being poured into a glass as someone does precisely that on screen, all those small noises and sounds create an authentic audiovisual experience.
