Brief Analysis of a soundtrack-23/01/09





Analysing the sound in an opening sequence will give us an idea of what to include sound-wise in ours.

The sequence begins with a drone sounding like a foghorn which is consistent throughout with different sounds on top of it. The audio fits with what is shown in the shot- when the scroll flashes onto screen, a sudden sharp sound happens before retuning to the drone. Depending on how dramatic the image is on screen, the tension built by the music varies. There is the ambient sound of a heartbeat which comes in a little after the title sequence starts and seems to built up in volume. As the brief story of Leatherface unfolds the music becomes more eerie.
