(FART) BZZZZ (repeat, as multiple characters fart – this continues for approx. one minute)
Character 1
“How about some more beans, Mr. Taggert”
Character 2
“I’d say you’ve had enough.”
Listening modes: these are all casual sounds as they are literal farts/fart sounds. It’s non-diegetic, you can see and hear them fart, and so can they, but it’s not like a car crash where you actually see the act happening. The size, distance and perception are all there. As the camera moves across each character, they all fart and this is reflected visually and audio-wise. It’s all there, very well done – professional. The similarity is there – no fart sticks out, because that would be weird. It’s a very basic scene, but it’s pretty legendary. Perhaps a better scene to analyze would be in the beginning of “Blazing Saddles” when the two black characters ride down the handrail cart on the train track. As the cart moves, so does the camera and sound – it is executed in a professional way as to make us feel like we are a part of it. When their cart hits quicksand and begins to sink – the sound reflects that. (I’ll include a link to that scene, as I’ve mentioned it quite a bit. Here it is, sort of - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7QF32mxftE).
