    Micro aspects of film are used to convey or amplify themes and tones within an extract of film, this helps to evoke a specific reaction from the audience as desired by the director. Darren Aronofsky's combination of mise-en-scene and sound in "The Black Swan" meld together to dramatically encapture the tension within this psychological thriller. The extract begins with the protagonist Nina hyperventilating against the diegetic music of the ballet, which is ongoing off-camera. The music is reminiscent of falling, this creates meaning as it mirrors Nina’s deteriorating mental state. Violins can be heard, suggesting an element of mourning, leading the audience to the understanding that the music foreshadows her death. As the music of the show becomes grand, (defined by the music resembling a full orchestra) there is the non diegetic sound of a female breathing, other than Nina, indicating an external force. This relates to the fantastic elements of the genre, and creates tension for the audience through the uncertainty of reality within the shot. This also marks the realization that the pure, stable side of Nina's personality is dominated by the Black Swan. Now on stage, the non diegetic sound of wings is evident. A connection is illustrated between the previously mentioned force and Nina through the sound of wind under wings as she moves her arms. This also depicts the further dominance of the black swan. The sound of breathing, not from Nina is unsettling for the audience, but creates meaning with the suggestion that she is controlled by the force, it is engulfing her. The music tempo quickens, reflecting the madness and transition of Nina, creating tension, panic. The pleonastic sound of every movement illustrates the power the black swan posses and signifies how Nina is slowly becoming the living embodiment of the black swan story. As Nina moves offstage the pleonastic sound…

    Sound is a cinematic technique that is used to display true characters. Specifically, there is a diegetic sound of Willy Wonka’s tune when the winners first arrive to the factory. The winners of the golden tickets, are greeted by Wonka’s very cheerful, colorful, and hyper song. The song being played shows how excited and ecstatic Wonka can be. Even though it is not himself singing, the fast pace and cheerful beat is what Willy Wonka really is about. In this case in “Edward Scissor Hands,” there is a diegetic sound of Edward breaking the microphone as he tries to touch it. With the town’s amazement of Edward, he landed a gig on a popular talk show. As they ask him questions he reaches for the microphone and with his scissor hands, a loud pop is heard, breaking the microphone. The loud pop of the microphone scared and left Edward afraid, because he did not expect it to happen. For the rest of the scene Edward is tense and is slightly insecure because he fears being judged after being seen in a negative way for most of his life. The sound in these films can show the real vulnerability and confidence to a…

    Tim Burton, in Hansel and Gretel, uses non-diegetic sounds to grow an uneasy feeling upon the audience. Throughout the duration of the film, Burton developed an evil presence about the mother. By using childlike instruments to create a whimsical piece, this proposes an opposite feeling of being unsettling. Most of Tim’s films incorporate musical juxtaposition. The effect of the music and the mood helps develop an overall theme. Likewise, in Sweeney Todd Burton expertly includes non-diegetic sound throughout the film. This once again develops a mood. Overall amongst these films, non-diegetic sounds play a critical role in establishing the characters and an opinion.…

    Sound is a main cinematic technique that Tim Burton uses. There are two types of sound, diegetic and non-diegetic. Those types of sounds are used in different ways. A diegetic sound is one that could logically be heard by the characters in a film. Non-diegetic is one that cannot be heard by the characters but is designed for audience reaction only. Sound also sets the mood for a scene. For example, in Edward scissor hands, when the woman was showing him around their house for the first time a happy upbeat sound was playing to set a happy mood. Another example is when the woman went up into Edwards’s house; dark sad music was playing to match the scary setting. In most films sound will match the setting or mood of the scene.…

    Sound is a three-hundred-and-sixty degree experience, it is all around us, and as we cannot close our ears, we cannot escape it, it fills all the space in our world. As humans, our brain can prioritise sound over vision as we can only see what we are looking at, yet we can hear all around us. These are the reasons that sound has a direct route to the heart. The interpretation of sound can help us to perceive atmosphere, which in turn evokes human emotion, and this is the very reason that we watch films; to be entertained, to laugh at a comedy, to be shocked by a horror, to come into contact with our emotions. Sound effects are literal sound, they enhance the film experience by using real sounds to…
