Analysis Of Sound in Stormbreaker...

For my part of this task I had to analyse the sound of the opeing to Stormbreaker.
It starts off the teacher talking in a lesson and you can hear his footsteps as he is wandering around. Then Alex starts to speak. This is all diegetic sound. As Alex is explaining his family, the screen changes and it shows his uncle. Alex's voice then becomes a voice over while he's describing his family. You can also hear the Nanny speak but it is only quite so it doesn't distract you from the voice over. Then there is a big explosion which is loud and grabs the audiences attention because something exciting is happening. Through out the rest of the scene there are bike enegine and car noises to add more effect and there is also wheels screeching. The voice over is still talking while this is going on and a soundtrack also comes in aswell. The soundtrack is very upbeat, has a fast pace and has quite a shocking beat through out. As the car chase goes on the beach, you can hear the voice of Punch and Judy that the elderly couple are watching. Also you can hear seagulls and at the end of the chase you can hear lots of gunshots that have been fired at the car. Then the scene goes back to the classroom and a boy yawns and then the school bell goes.

Overall the sound of this opening is quite dramatic and there's a lot going on. The opening is quite upbeat,fast and sets the audience up for the rest of the film.
