Radio trailer analysis (sounds)

Case 39 (2009):

The trailer for the movie begins with a non-diagetic sound of a strong beat which quickly turns into eerie music. This is added with diagetic sound of the main protagonist talking. Whispers are included which makes it scary The music picks up pace as parents try to kill antagonist before it stops completely. Equilibrium seems to be restored and this is enforced by the use of calm non-diagetic music playing in the background. Diagetic sound of eerie noises such as doors opening begin and the music begins to change. Many sounds are included to add tension. A lot of screams and shouts are included here before the music reaches its climax. This helps the audience wonder if equilibrium is restored or not (cliffhanger).



The Purge (2013):

Non diegetic sound of pianos is used which gives a calm effect at the start, there is also a siren sound used, which builds tension as you fear what will happen at the end of it. There is also some sort of music playing in the background which sounds like opera. This links to the story being set in America trying to give the effect of being the national anthem. As for diegetic sounds, there is more of this as there is dialogue used, things smashing such as glass, an alarm going off, door bell, all which relates to what is happening in the scene, but also these sounds link to the horror genre. Tension builds up near the end as the audience is left to think what happens through the use of loud music, sirens, opera singing and screaming.
