The comparative study of the sound quality in movies by using ambient sound properties

Abstract

Atmosphere sound is a part of Ambient Sound which is used in film production of the film industry. The atmosphere sound is a natural sound in which happened depending on the particular location. This paper examines the sound qualities of distinct movies through the investigation of the ambient sound properties. The sound of “Atmosphere sound” has its own specific characteristics. According to this sound investigation, the sound of “Atmosphere sound” will be analyzed by using three models to analyze; spectrogram, waveform, and pitch. The four different local films will be chosen to analyze the value of atmosphere sound from three models. Then, the result will be shown in graph to indicate the pitch of sound and the specific features of atmosphere sound. The result shows that the particular features of atmosphere sound will not be loud mostly; the sound frequency of appeared sound in atmosphere sound has a range from low to middle of sound frequencies. Besides, as regards the testing of pitch analysis the note of music is not found as well, but it shows another sound intercalated instead in atmosphere sound. However, this specific characteristic from this research can be developed in order to indicate the sound in other multimedia.
