Dialogue and Sound

In the beginning sequence of our film there is no dialogue except for the character yelling and screaming inaudibly. the inauditblility of the scene is key, a well planned technique that will really help solidify the emotional elegance of the sequence. the fact that he is screaming at the top of his voice desperate for someone to hear his distress however we cant, we can see his desperation however we cant hear it, which will really amplifies the silence and will make the sequence emotive and powerful.


There is then a flashback of the man on the phone to his wife and children. A sound bridge will be used to link the action together. At first we'll just see the man in the room as before and here the phone call (diagetic sound, echoey sound to show flashback),but then halfway through the phone call the flashback happens and we see him on the phone to his wife and child just before they're killed. again, this confusion of sounds, and the order in which the sound are heard will further disorientate the audience which is a key aspect of a thriller film, the audience expect to see disorientation, they want a break from reality, but a believable break, nothing that is un-true, therefore the effectiveness of the edit choices we have made will entice the audience into this unorthodox scene of mayhem and danger.


Sound and Dialogue script

• Happy, fast paced music, contrasts with manic action shown and creates enigma, again creating a sense of confusion and madness as to why such a upbeat happy track is playing in contrast to the intense negative emotion (Non-Diegetic)
• Josh yelling and screaming, crashes and bangs as he throws things, this represents the normal human behaviour that one would participate in in such circumstances (Diegetic)
• Telephone rings (Diegetic)
• Voices of woman, child and man (Diagetic)
