13. Analyse the use of sound in one film opening

In this particular film opening, there are range of different sounds and techniques that are used. As the scene begins, we have some sound effects to go with the on screen text, which is showing you where the film is set. We also begin to hear a voice over, which is helping us to set the scene.

As we cut to the actual man talking, we can faintly hear some non diagetic music in the background, as in these particular shots we want to focus on what the actor is saying and we want to hear it as clearly as possible.

When the man leaves the room, the non diagetic sound starts to become louder and we eventually cut to a song, which starts as the title credits occur. As this song is playing, some diagetic sound is present, with a series of explosions and crashes happening around this man as he is walking. There doesn't appear to be a sound bridge in this particular opening.
