    The document discusses challenges in analyzing film sound compared to analyzing images. It notes that sound is more difficult to isolate and examine than a single frame, as it is multi-layered and complex. Additionally, sound is inherently connected to the images it accompanies, making it challenging to study independently of the visuals. Historically, cinema has been viewed as a primarily visual medium, with most film analysis focusing on the images rather than sound.

    The Conversation (Francis Ford


    Coppola, 1974)

    I usually start by asking you to think


    about issues we may face in
    attempting to focus on sound, rather
    than image (give it a bit of thought
    before scrolling down to my
    suggestions…)
    - you can't 'freeze' a sound and consider it for a long time like we
    did with the 1st shot of Raging Bull
    - sound is multi-layered, complex
    - you can't isolate/dissociate sound from the image it accompanies
    (other than by shutting your eyes- we have experimented with that
    in the past!)
    - historically cinema was considered a 'visual' medium, published
    film analysis has prioritised image-based study
    -etc
    -think about particular uses of sound that film can employ (in class
    we’d list them on the board …allows me to correct the common
    mis-spelling of ..(non-) diegetic
