Sound in the Extract Max Payne

                                                                                                                                          

Shot Number	Technical Sound	Effects
1)	Motif is used for the Twenty Century fox.	This is used because it creates a sense of familiarity for the audience.  We recognise the music and it reminds us of 20th century fox. There is use of trumpets, which gives the feel of announcing something important. The company want us to feel that their company is grand and this is matched with the logo and spotlights over it.
2)	Sound bridge is used as there is no image and there is off screen dialogue. There is also off screen diegetic sound with the wind.	This creates suspense and introduces the storyline; it helps give full attention to narrative. The wait for dialogue, makes us intrigued and when the character is speaking we concentrate on what he is saying as we cannot see his face. Gives sense of outside world, it’s a very raw sound the audience could associate it with winter and cold, which reflects the tone of the clip as being dark.
3)	Diegetic Sound is used. (on screen) Foley track added.	He is splashing around and that would have been there also he is breathing loudly. This helps create suspense and adds to the feeling that he is struggling. The breathing probably was added later as it is quite loud, this contrasts well to the silence that was at the end of 2 and beginning of 3. The breathing also adds realism. The audience is also given an enigma as he is suddenly here and we wonder why.
4)and 5)	Again Diegetic Sound. (on screen)	This time the diegetic sound is from the water. The sound is muffled when we go under the water and it sounds as it would. The sound seems to be the bubbles. The effect is that it feels more three dimensional and is we are there with the character, and drowning ourselves, this could heighten our emotions. There is a contrast in sound as there is no longer the talking over the top of the sequence, this makes us concentrate on his actions and makes him struggling more dramatic as we can hear everything in the water. We feel he is really fighting for his life
8) and 9)	Of screen diegetic And Non diegetic	The door is creaking and there is a light on inside. The door says baby on a sign and we can hear a baby crying but we can’t see it. This adds enigma and a 3D like experience for the audience. A clock also starts ticking which could suggest foreshadowing and impeding doom, this could also link with the earlier sequences as we see he is dying.
10)	Sound bridge, Voice-over and Non Diegetic  Sound	A really deep music is played and a sound bridge is used to continue the ticking of the clock in the background from the previous scene. This supports my point earlier that this means he is running out of time.  There is also someone speaking over the top. The sound bridge creates cohesion between the scenes, it flows well and links the two events.
13)	Another sound bridge is used.	The sound bridge is again used to carry on the ticking this perhaps creates a message that his time is running out.
14)	Non diegetic	Slowing down of ticking sound, symbolizes slowing down and death.
15)	Silence.	Separates the flashback from the most recent things that have happened. It also has more of an impact and suggests an end to this.
16)	Off screen diegetic	Police sirens and muffled voices over walkie talkie are in the background this helps to create the new setting and alert us that this is to do with a crime.
Throughout the clip	Parallel sound is used.	This is because the clip is very dark and the seriousness wanted to be emphasized.
