Sound Question (re-write):
In this opening scene, the sound creates an effective atmosphere especially in specific times of the scene. Throughout the scene, there was a non-diegetic sound being played in the background as it was orchestral. Even though, it was non-diegetic, the sound was parallel to the scene because it helped emphasize the tension in the scene. It started off as slow haunting music as the two characters were briefly introduced to the scene which portrays the uneasiness between the two characters. It also helps foreshadow that a tragic event were to occur as the music went on. As soon as gunshots were fired the sound appeared to increase in volume which raised the emotional impact of the scene. Also as soon as the cigarette is dropped and the fire increases, the sound once again becomes loud which conveys that a dramatic event had occurred. However, at the very beginning of the scene, small sounds that appear to be quiet in real life, appeared louder. For example, the water drops and the sizzling sound of the fire was exaggerated in volume. Even when the villain was urinating, the sound seemed much more louder and heard. This suggests that the scene was so quiet and mysterious that little sound that usually cannot be heard became loud which increases the tension and could potentially bring out enigma codes as people would want to know why is it so quiet that water droplets can be heard. It also helps build up tension in the atmosphere as it clearly indicates to the audience that something or a specific event was going to occur. Another aspect which creates an effective atmosphere in the scene was the dialogue between the two characters. Both character speak very quietly, especially the antagonist who whispers his dialogue depicting a more suspicious character. Keaton, who is killed, speaks in a soft voice indicating weakness which goes well with his make-up as he is made to look like he has been beaten down. In a nutshell, the dialogue helps portray the characters in more depth, the sound in the background helped create tension in the scene and the exaggerated sounds aided in amplifying the tension to a great extent.
