Analysis of sound in thrillers:
The analysis was based on the film ‘Law
abiding citizen’ and looking at the use of sound the film creates.
The film contains a lot of use for diegetic
sounds. This is used because it creates realism to the audience and gives the
effect of the audience being in the film. The non-diegetic sounds used consist
of slow paced music to create lots of tension and fear towards the audience.
Law Abiding Citizen creates a lot of tension so minimalizing the amount of
music used in certain scenes is key. The music is only to build up and to scare
the audience at certain scenes as this is typically used in thrillers since the
soundtrack increases in pitch and tempo. The sound effects used consist of
weapons such as shooting guns to make the scenes realistic and to fright the
audience as a gunshot is very fast and scares the audience if it out of
nowhere. There’s a lot of dialogue used throughout the film to set the scene
and to give the audience any information about the plot of the film they don’t understand
as the film can be confusing to certain audiences.
