unit 26 assignment 1 , sound analysis ( updated for the presenation )


Christopher uses sound to create tension and anticipation in the audience in such an exceptional way , in both the scenes from the dark knight and inception the diagetic dialogue and ambient sound is in high pitch as the narrative goes along  and the none diagetic soundtrack always start off in low pitch to create more tension then elevates as the scene gets more intense for example in inception , as Ariadne enters the elevator Nolan uses a sound bridge of the train to create anticipation in the audience of what they think the next scene will be ,as moll approaches Ariadne the non diagetic soundtrack is in a low pitch as we hear it in the back ground this makes us feel nervous and really tense but the diagetic dialogue is clear we can here moll as she says “ your waiting for a train a train that will take you far away ) then we hear the diagetic ambient sound of the wind blowing and its effect on us is that it gives us a sense of danger like something is about to hppen ,and the diagetic sound the broken glass makes as she steps on it softly in a higher pitch than the sound track makes us start to thik of what happened to the room , why is there broken glasses around and it scares us, followed by the panicked gasp of Ariadne ,making us see how afraid and nervous she is. as The none diagetic sound track goes from a slow paste than creates a lot of tension in the audience as it elevates into  higher pitch as the we hear a more scarier soundtrack when moll tries to chase after Ariadne that shocks the audience up and scares them , Chris Nolan uses this method to create tension and anticipation in the audience as we saw in inception , he also uses this exact method in the dark knight as the joker Is speaking to Rachel .
