Use of sound in "Scream"

Director: Wes Craven
Year: 1996

  • large bangs make the audience scared
  • diegetic noises: doorbell, telephone, etc
  • non diegetic noise as well
  • pounding music creates tension
  • sets the genre
  • they make some sounds louder than others
  • creaking of the swing- who's hearing it?
  • dog- someone prowling in the neighbourhood
  • phone was getting louder
  • alerts us to the fact that she's in danger
  • viscaeral- a feeling sound..... you it in your body like a jolt
  • use of violins- like a 'scream'
