TED演讲:你在电影里听到的都是假的(5)（在线收听） |
On the completely other side, adding a lot of reverb to a voice is going to make us think that we're listening to a flashback, 在完全相反的情况下，在语音里加入很多回响会使我们感觉正在听回忆， or perhaps that we're inside the head of a character or that we're listening to the voice of God. 或者好像我们正在一个角色的大脑中，或者在听上帝的声音。
Or, even more powerful in film, Morgan Freeman. You know... So... 或者是在电影里更强大的摩根·费里曼。那么...
But what are some other tools or hacks that sound designers use? 还有什么其他手段或是方式是音效师在使用的呢？
Well, here's a really big one. It's silence. A few moments of silence is going to make us pay attention. 这里有一个很重要的。就是无声。短暂的安静无声使我们集中注意力。
And in the Western world, we're not really used to verbal silences. 在西方世界里，我们不太习惯在对话时安静下来。
They're considered awkward or rude. So silence preceding verbal communication can create a lot of tension. 人们会觉得奇怪或无礼。因此，使一段正在进行的对话变成无声可以制造很多紧张感。
But imagine a really big Hollywood movie, where it's full of explosions and automatic guns. 但是想象一下在好莱坞大片中全都是爆炸和机枪声。
Loud stops being loud anymore, after a while. 嘈杂的声音过一会儿就不觉得嘈杂了。
So in a yin-yang way, silence needs loudness and loudness needs silence for either of them to have any effect. 就像阴阳理论中说的无声需要嘈杂，嘈杂也需要无声（静中有动，动中有静），两者相辅相成。
But what does silence mean? Well, it depends how it's used in each film. 那么无声意味着什么呢？这取决于每个电影如何使用它。
Silence can place us inside the head of a character or provoke thought. 无声可以让我们进入角色的思绪，或是引发思考。
We often relate silences with ... contemplation, meditation, being deep in thought. 我们通常从无声联想到...凝视，冥想，陷入深思。
But apart from having one meaning, silence becomes a blank canvas upon which the viewer is invited to the paint their own thoughts. 但是并不是只有一种意义，无声是一块空白的画布，让观看的人把自己的想法画上去。 |
