Ratatouille Cooking Scene:
Screenplay:
I found that causal sounds are used in this scene where Remy decides to turn up the heat on the soup. We hear the sound of flames, which is a common sound that can be heard in the kitchen. Another causal sound in the scene is the drop of water sound, which we hear when it rains. Semantic sounds are used when Gasteau appears in the air and flies around. It is a shimmering high-pitched sound is a representational sound we connect with a fairy or a person flying in the air. We have been brought up believing that that is what someone flying sounds like.
The pot of soup represents the Gestalt Principal. The pot appears to be holding soup, but in reality, the soup is made up of many ingredients. Those ingredients make the soup look like a whole. Illusion is also used when Remy is running up the silver ladle. We hear the music in the background and as he runs up the ladle, a xylophone is used on top of the other sound to make it seem as though there are many sounds, when there really aren’t.
Movement is used when Remy runs up the ladle because we see him running forward and the tempo of the sound become faster. Subjective sound is used when Remy is thinking whether or not he should begin to cook. The audience hears the sounds in his head, but other characters do not.
The speed and loudness of sound is also used when Remy runs up the silver ladle. The sound becomes louder and faster to show that he is moving at a fast pace. Habituation sound is used when Remy is gathering ingredients for the soup together. The noise in the background is very annoying and keeps repeating itself, but after hearing it for a while we become accustomed to it.
