media, sound in woman in black textual analysis

1. WOMAN IN BLACK –
SOUND
Kaitlin Lodge

2. In the opening scene the ambient sound is the sound bridge of creepy
music, which immediately creates the scene and makes the audience
feel on edge. The high pitched tapping is eerie and unnatralistic.

3. Although the score is sound bridged the whole way through, the first
diegetic noise is a cup smashing which creates affect on the viewer to
make them feel startled and forebodes something bad which is going
to happen.

4. The next diegetic sound which creates affect is the girls screaming, by
this time the score is coming to a end so the screaming over powers
the music playing, the score is lower than the diegetic sound with a
deep low pitch, juxtaposing to the screaming which is high pitched
and higher volume. It is asynchronous to the clip.
