Use of sound in "Taxi Driver"

Director: Martin Scorsese
Year: 1976 USA

  • goes from scary music which is frantic, then to jazz music which is calm. It alternates between the two
  • can be hear talking before it changes the shot
  • both diegetic and non diegetic
  • the opening is like a prologue.
  • like "Pyscho"
  • the drum beat is like a heartbeat
  • the scary music- last career was in the marines
  • jazz music- city music
  • the music is his split personality
  • a sound bridge
