Opening Sound/Music Analysis 01

• Before the film starts there is a loud build up of non-diegetic music. This is as if its warning the audience that the film is about to start, and it requires all of your attention to be focused on the screen.

• The non-diegetic music, suddenly fades into background of the sound of loud waves crashing against the beach as the film begins.

• Now in accompany to the slightly quieter sound of the waves, the non-diegetic music is very atmospheric as it slowly builds itself back up, as we see the man washed up ashore and hear the faint laughter of children on the beach.

• At the moment the music is very atmospheric, and matches whats going on in the film, as there are not any recognizable sounds which reveals the location of the beach where the character has washed up ashore.

• The atmospheric music then changes, to something more tension building, as the audience see the old man accompanied by what appears to be his security.

• As the film carries on, the music gets quieter and slightly fades as the characters talk. This allows for the audience to pick up on what is going on.

• Later on, the music starts to pick up the pace and is accompanied to the diegetic sounds of the glass chandeliers moving and the characters watch slowly ticking.

• The slow ticking then builds up pace and is immediately followed up by a loud boom, as the film quickly changes location to a busy populated street where there's an explosion.
