Archive Material
- Archive material is old footage used in previous productions from various genres.
- Documentary film makers often use Archive footage. Authenticate their narratives.
- Archive Material example is Senna they used footage to create a film about him.
Example: The Cove.
The footage was used to help expose the cruelty of Japanese fisherman and their treatment towards dolphins. The footage was effective because it made the audience feel bad because the footage is real and it shows the slaughter of dolphins.
Library Material
- Library material refers to material effects there is a lot out there.
- When a film is complete, the wild tracks of non dialogue is completed by the production company.
- Many productions would build up a library of sounds over the years.
- Large production company would sell these sound clips in order to make some profit.
- There will be archives of videos materials these are often referred to as action essentials.
The BBC sound effects library is a CD available to order from their website. It is packed full of sound effects. This is effective because it can save time buying these CD's instead of going to all different places and recording them.
There are many different types of bundles for different types of genre and how popular they are. For example, there is the comedy bundle which includes laughter which costs £4.95. On the other hand with the standard issue set the price of that is £99.00 because it includes more popular noises.
Internet
- The internet is one of the newest ways to get cleared sounds and effects for your movie.
I could use freesound.org because they have many sound clips that are very popular in movies. For example, these include sounds of vehicles which i can use if i have a driving scene.
Website: https://freesound.org/browse/
Freesound is a free website where you can get free sound clips to use in and movies or short films you make. I could use this site to build my own sound library because it is free and it can save time and money. Some may be good quality others may not.
Property Rights and Copyrights
- If you want to use a company material then ask permission and be prepared to pay for it.
- Time is spent reffing sounds by sound designers. Foley artists and effects editors should get paid appropriately.
- The most important thing to remember is that anything you use must have written permission. Video piracy makes films more boring.
- If a sound has been created by someone else they have the right of form.
