Background Noise in Thrillers Pt: II

First i will being with Inception.

The first sound and image is waves on the sea. The sound here is very loud for a background noise so at first it may seem as if its just to show emphasis on the water and of Dicaprio washing up on the beach. Later on though a there is a scene similar to this which is key to the plot line of the film so the extra sound here makes you realise later on when the similar scene is playing that they are meant to be similar. The extra sound acts as an association between the two. Then there is the children's laughter. This is not as loud as the water so it seems as if the water is blocking Dicaprio and his children, which in a way it is due to the water scene later on being part of something bigger that affects his role with his children. Throughout the rest of the opening background sound appears to be normal, not too loud not too quiet which at the time may seem like they just didn't need anything special, but after viewing the film you realise that having the sound normal in that scene is too make it seem real, which is juxtaposed in the fact that that scene is actually a dream.





I intend for there to be another two parts soon.
