Hangover II Scene 1: Pig

In this clip they used non-diegetic background actions music to create a tension and shows that something is about to happen or is happening. In this clip the characters are driving crazy in new Thailand while some men on motorbikes are shooting at them but the scene becomes funny because of the way the character are panicking, the monkey grabbing onto the car and the car hitting into the pig. This non-diegetic music makes a serious situation funny. The dialogue in this movie is also very panicking and everybody was shouting over each other which was making the situation funnier. I think the dialogue in this movie was very exaggerated because with all that background noise you wouldn't have been able to hear the dialogue. I

In a normal action movie, the main character/s are normal fearless but in this scene you could tell by the dialogue and the way they were shouting that they were scared but what they were saying made it funny. There was also a lot of exaggerated diegetic sound effects in this scene like the gun shots, truck beeping, screeching of the car, motorbike sound and the sound of hitting into the pig. These sound effects makes the scene a bit more realistic. Even when I didn't watch the scene, I could still tell that this was comedian movie because of all of these aspects. These aspect makes the audience know that this scene is a comedy movie.

Hangover II Scene 2: Alan Crying Scene

In this scene you hear a quiet sting of  non-diegetic music fading in when Alan says "Chow, are you ok?". This short piece of music tells the audience that something in the film has gone wrong in the film.The short piece of music is also setting the mood of scene. After this you hear ambient sound and this is when most of the dialogue starts taking place. The dialogue in this scene in normal cases is suppose to be emotional and tragic but it is over exaggerated for example Stu starts screaming and picnicking and at the same time Alan starts doing a whiny crying noise, this makes the scene quite comical because two grown adults are sounding like babies and Phil is like the father in this scene he takes control. This is another scene that is making a serious matter funny.

When the dialogue stops that when another non-diegetic background music fades in again and you can only hear the music and the exaggerated sounds of the monkey. The background music starts off quiet and then builds up then suggest to the audience that something is about to happen in this scene.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air Scene 1: Father Scene

 This scene is basically about how Will's father has let him down again after leaving 17 years. In this scene has no sound effect, no non-diegetic music or voiceover until the very end. You can only hear the characters talking and the body movement they make. The dialogue in the scene convey all the emotion in this scene and the lack of sound makes you listen properly to what the character (Will) is saying so it can create a emotional, deep and a serious atmosphere . This program is normally a comedy program  that uses a lot of sound effects and exaggerated sounds to make the episode more funny but this was an usual and different be to the normal conventions of this genre. This scene made the audience have a connection with the characters in this scene and create an emotional response. Even though this scene was set in a studio, this scene used realist sounds. The only non diegetic we had we was the scene is the theme tune that is also played at end of every episode of The Fresh of Bel Air, this reminds the audience what they are watching.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air Scene 2: Sneaking In Scene

This scene is about Will smith sneaking in after coming back late from a party and trying to get to his room without the butler, aunt and uncle seeing him but at the end they catching up at the end. The use of non-diegetic background music was used at in this scene. The audience hear music that you would normal see in a spy movie so they tells us that he does not want to be seen. This movie helps the audience understand the narrative of this scene. There is also another piece of non-diegetic music when the character (Will) was celebrating on the stair because he thought he got away. The music was like a burst of tambourine which made that bit seem cheerful. There were also a few exaggerated sound like when the door open and when uncle phill was snoring. This was to make the scene more realist and also so you could hear it over the background music.
