The scene uses one main use of the “Listening Modes” and that’s semantic sounds. Semantic sounds are representational sounds, which means sounds that aren’t literally happening but represent the action that is taking place. So when Spongebob first pulls the pencil out and puts it up in the air you hear a sword being drawn out of its holster because that’s what it looks like. They don’t include any causal sounds because this scene is meant to have a lot of action that Spongebob thinks is happening but actually isn’t. And causal sounds are literal sounds taking place.
This scene uses the “Gesalt Principals and Illusion” really well to make it a stronger piece. They use the illusion technique by never having an overlap of sounds but they keep them constantly coming and never slowing down. The sword being drawn, then the helicopter sound falling, then the wisps of writing so fast. It’s a constant mess of sounds never overlapping just constantly going. The figure and ground method was also used. When the pencil is up in the air above his head there is a bright shining light hitting the pencil making you focus on it more than the background. Its also a lot bigger than it was before it went up in the air.
