Sound in Opening Title
Sequences
The Importance of Sound in an
Opening Title Sequence
Sound is used to set the mood of the film and
should reflect and represent the genre of the film
on screen through the beat and speed of the
sound. For example, for a horror film the
sounds/music in the opening sequence should be
quite slow and usually starts off quiet and and
gets louder. But in horror films it is used to create
tension and anticipation within the audience.
Furthermore, sound should also reflect the action
occurring on screen and therefore give an insight
into what might happen during the film.
Different Types of Sound
 Diegetic Sound- sound whose source is visible on
screen
 Non-diegetic Sound- sound whose source is not
visible on screen
 Asynchronous Sound- sound which reflects the
action on screen but not precisely synchronized
 Synchronous Sound- sound that matches the
movements on screen and is precisely synchronized
such as a footsteps beat.
What I Have Learnt
I have learnt that if my opening title sequence has a
lot of action on screen then the different types of
sound mentioned earlier such as asynchronous or
synchronous sound should be included to match
the action. Also the beat, speed and volume of the
sounds should reflect the genre of the film and
should set a mood of the film. Furthermore, sound
should create anticipation throughout the audience
and should create an emotion through the
audience depending on what genre of the film it is.
