Blog Assignment #4









WALL-E LA VIE EN ROSE SCENE:

This a scene filled with amazing sounds. It would have to be if we can understand exactly the love story it is successfully setting up when all we can here is systematic beeps for dialogue!

That is what makes the scene unique in it’s use of casual and semantic sounds. The literal sound of the metal that makes up Wall-e rustling around, or chattering in fright reminds us of what he literally is: a robot. The semantic sounds, or his and Eva’s beeps or electronic hums represent a language similar to ours, one we can understand, and we help to understand what Wall-e essentially is: a man in love.

Elements within the Gestalt Principal are also used. By conflict within the sounds that Wall-e and Eva make, their proximity and similarity are different and it make sit easy to establish their opposing identities. In addition, there is the opposite of the illusion of overlap, the sounds are relatively easy to comprehend and separated because the planet needs to sound quiet and lonely in order for us to really understand Wall-e’s loneliness.
