Analysis of sound in thriller opening sequences.

Catch me if you can:
The sound track used in the opening sequence of this film had a large variety of high and low tones. There was a low xylophone which added a feel of mystery and darkness to the scene. Whereas the higher strings added a certain quirkiness and liveliness the the opening scene. The regular and rapid change of pace in this opening sequence keeps the viewer interested.


Surface:
The sound track that is used in Surface has a background layer of low and monotone sounds. these sounds make the viewer feel a sense of darkness and gloominess. The soundtrack is very contrasting in the sense that there are intervals of sharp, high sounds.


Se7en:
The soundtrack in this opening sequence is very quirky with a lot of low and high sounds. there is not a clear instrument that stands out as the main sound in this opening sequence. The sounds that are used are a mix of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. The screams that occur every now and then are diegetic sounds, The other sounds are non-diegetic.
