Saw sound analysis in title sequence
In this film title sequence, the sound director uses a mixture of diegetic and non diegetic sounds to make the viewer build tension so that the movie creates a horror like suspensive atmosphere. The extreme background music sounds like a heartbeat whilst the screeching and screaming sound obviously are codes and conventions of a horror genre. By doing this, the viewer is more immersed and elusive towards the ,movie as well as on the edge of their seats from the offset.
Although the genre's sound blatantly convey that it is a horror, it also uses sound conventions of other genres to appeal to other audiences not just horror movie lovers. This also connotes that the violent sounds as well as the other sound help portray other genres in this film such as mystery and horror which also help the title sequence more appealing.
