P1: Xmen Clip Sound Analysis

X-Men Sound Timeline
All the sounds in the clip go very well together more so the Sound effects and dialogue as they can often over run and create a nice effect. Sound effects can be used to intrigue the viewer as well, and make the viewer more interested in the story for example near the end sound effects were used when the fire ball was turned to ice, this then sparked an encounter with the teacher and students as well as two students individually. The voiceover gave a gripping edge on the clip giving the viewer an insight into life at the college. The music set the scene well as it linked everything together in the scene and it presented a vivid view of the college.
Music: 0:00 - 1:32 (Throughout)
The music is clear and vivid in the background behind all other dialogue, Voice overs and sound effects. The music links everything together in the scene, from the beginning basketball game to the final classroom scene. 
Dialogue: 0:03 - 0:07, 0:11 - 0:13, 1:06 - 1:08, 1:11 - 1:17, 1:28 - 1:30
When there is dialogue present it is clear and easy to understand. All the students we hear have an generic Northern American accent which is pleasing to the ear and easy to understand. 
Voice-Over: 0:08 - 0:11, 0:16 - 0:18, 0:20 - 0:30, 0:32 - 0:55, 01:18 - 01:28
The Voice Over has a soft voice that is pleasing and easy to listen to. Throughout the clip he is explaining what the school is and what it does for young people.
Sound Effects: 0:07 - 0:13, 0:14 - 0:16, 0:22 - 0:28, 0:48 - 0:50, 0:57 - 1:03
The majority of the sound effects used in the clip are either magic being used by students or diegetic sound which is heard in the real world environment, for example birds chirping.
