Scott and Casey’s Response

1. The first audio clip was a fun-loving movie about a man becoming the foster father of a child. The voice-over narration tells us that the father is a struggling writer as well. The second clip has no voice narration, only some eerie music possibly fitting a horror or sci-fi movie.

2.  The keynote sound for the first audio clip was the cheery background music that set the fundamental tone of a family feel-good movie. The signal sound of the first clip was the cymbals and bells and whistles that went off occasionally to describe the setting as possibly the father’s home or workshop. The soundmark was Bug’s Bunny’s “What’s up Doc?” catchphrase, which pegged the movie as a family movie for kids.  The second clip’s keynote sound was the eerie techno music that set the mood for a horror or sci-fi movie. The signal sound was the repetitive beeping that added to the eerie quality of the clip. There was no definitive soundmark because it was the same music over and over again.

3. The first clip is family film, the second is a horror or sci-fi movie.
