HEARING VS. LISTENING
La fille sur le pont (Girl on the bridge) Patawad (Monologue by
French Monologue Anna Escobia)
Did you hear the audio or did you listen to the audio?
Which clip you hear only but not listen to?
Which clip you both hear and listen?
14
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEARING AND LISTENING
“Hearing is simply the act of perceiving sound by the
ear. If you are not hearing-impaired, hearing simply
happens. Listening, however, is something you
consciously choose to do. Listening requires
concentration so that your brain processes meaning
from words and sentences. Listening leads to
learning.”

What is monologue by the way?
• A monologue is a speech given by a single character in a
story. In drama, it is the vocalization of a character’s
thoughts; in literature, the verbalization. It is traditionally
a device used in theater—a speech to be given on stage—
but nowadays, its use extends to film and television.
• A monologue speaks at people, not with people. Many
plays and shows involving performers begin with a
single character giving a monologue to the audience
before the plot or action begins.

ELEMENTS OF SOUND DESIGN
“these are the objects or things that we have to work with.”
(a) Dialogue – speech, conversation, voice-over.
- Waterfall – as first element fades out, the second element
begins at full volume. Better for voice transitions, than for
(b) Sounds Effects – any sound other than music or dialogue.
(c) Music – vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such
a way as to produce a beauty of form, harmony, and
expression of emotion.
(d) Silence – absence of audio or sound.
19
PRINCIPLES OF SOUND DESIGN
“these are the techniques for combining the different
elements or objects.”
(a) Mixing – the combination, balance and control of multiple
sound elements.
(b) Pace – time control, editing, order of events: linear,
non-linear or multi-linear.
(c) Transitions – How you get from one segment or element to
another . Types of transitions:
-Segue – one element stops, the next begins (“cut” in film)
-Cross-face – one element fades out, the next fades in,
and they overlap on the way.
-V-Fade – first element fades to inaudible before the
second elements begins.
(d) Stereo Imaging – using left and right channel for depth.
