Analysis of Sound - The Dark Knight (2008)

• As soon as the visual enters, a 'Boom' sounds to get attention from audience and to suggests the show is starting.

• The diegetic sound of cars in the background connotes this scene is from a big, busy city.

• The music slowly gets louder and louder to build tension. It also gets the audience ready for something big to happen (action scenes).

• When the glass shattered, powerful beats starts to fade in which makes the audience wonder and question what's happening/ what are they going to do.

• The sound of drums further build the tension and switching to a different scene with a conversion creates more curiosity and mystery.

• The diegetic sound of the guns loading contribute to the codes and convention of this movie - crime, action. This is a way of letting the audience identify the genre. 

• The non-diegetic creates a sense of secrecy to signify the crime they are going to get involved in. 

• The off-screen screaming also makes the audience nervous and scared. 

• The language used is very rough and include some slangs - this express they are the criminals and are people who wasn't very well educated.
