Sound - Clip 10 & 12 Brief Summary

Sunshine:
the sounds we hear in accompany to the spaceship are quite strange sounds like whale noises, this could indicate that space is weird and no body actually knows what it sounds like because its a vacuum.

the exterior sounds differ from those that are created within the interior of the spaceship, this is because the non diegetic sound effects outside of the ship are louder and more powerful, however inside the ship they are quite fast yet not powerful.

the sounds in the interior spaceship relate to what we see, this is because the man that comes out the shuttle looks hot, trampy, exhausted and drained, this links well with the blooded handprint we see in the scene because it creates a tense atmosphere due to the fact we know somebody has died.

the music that runs through the extract is

  • fast
  • powerful
  • loud
  • overwhelming
this builds up a tense atmosphere because you don't know whats going to happen next, all the audience know is that the shuttle is going towards the sun. it also raising the tempo.

Rat catcher:
we are shown an abstract image of a boy wrapping himself in a curtain, this is something alot of children did when they were little however the sound creates a different impression. the sounds we hear are faint, strange sounds of children laughing and playing, however Ryan is inside alone in the curtain. this could suggest that he is hiding himself away from the others with the use of the curtain, however this isn't the case.

we are introduced to the real world after this when Ryans mum slaps his head and tells him to stop doing that. when this happens the non diegetic music stops and we are instantly brought into the real atmosphere which can make it seem like he has snapped out of a dream to what he wants to be doing, playing like what all children love to do.

when Ryan runs away from his mother and untucks his flares from his boots, we are introduced to some slow music, i believe this music is trying to tell the audience what he is doing is wrong, and something bad will happen, a sound to show bad things to come.

when we are shown Ryan and his friend James playing, and another clip of Ryans mum buying shoes, we are introduced to parallel sound. the sound in each scene is different, in the playing scene the music is happy and enjoyable which can emphasise that they are having fun, however music with no rhythm and slightly dull is in the shoe scene.

when James pushes Ryan further into the water and the bubbles are shown from the top, we instantly have the impression he is going to drowned, the music turns to seriousness which builds up an atmosphere of anxiousness because we are hoping that he doesnt drown because he is only a child
