The Dark Knight-Sound Analysis



At the start of the scene diegetic sound is used to emphasis the realism of the movie and the 'haunting' presence of The Joker and showing that even though he is the prisoner, he is in charge as he controls the scene as he vocally over powers Commissioner James Gordon even though Gordon is in the position of power and should be in charge. As the scene continues the diegetic sound is still being used to show the realism of the film as intended by the director, not only just by voice but also when Gordon removes the cuffs of The Joker the diegetic sound is used to play with the audiences emotion as they now know this monster is free creating fear and tension for the viewer.

Next in the scene we hear a door closing but don't see it using diegetic sound to create suspense as we dot know what will happen next, then we hear the lights being switched on revealing Batman behind The Joker when diegetic sound is used again when Batman slams The Jokers head against the table creating suspense and tension as the sound emphasises the pain of the head slam. For the next minute and a half the scene continues to utilize diegetic sound as Batman and The Joker go back and forth in a conversation putting a pause of the tension but a increase in the suspense as we try to figure out what will happen next, also during this part of the scene it uses non diegetic sound, a very light and quiet non diegetic sound though to create a sense of calmness and suspense during the back and forth conversation.

The final part of the scene intensifies the non diegetic sound as the action sound increasing the tempo and sound of the score highly increasing the tension of the film as the action starts again, it is also used to mirror the anger of Batman as he beats The Joker. This effect of non diegetic sound is doubled by the accompanying diegetic sound as Batman interrogate sThe Joker increasing the tension two-fold for the viewer.

Pale Man Scene Begins-53:50 Ends-59:54 There are many ways the cinematography and mise-en-scene creates meaning throughout all of Pan’s Labyrinth however it is most noticeable in specific scenes of the film one of which is the ‘pale man’ scene. The scene begins with a dolly shot  as the camera reverses backwards creating a false sense of security as we see the whole room showing no danger which is later not the case, the dolly shot shows the audience a long old hallway with stone pillars creating a sense of mystery through the use of location,  also in this hallway the walls are lit with a 'bloody red' colour illuminating of the wall which links with danger creating a sense and meaning of anxiety and fear for the audience. Next we follow Ofelia as she enter a huge room lit red with rotting stone pillars and a table full of delicious foods which mirrors the earlier dinner seen but putting it in the realm of fantasy rather than reality as well as plac...
