Sound: Film Language Sound

Analysis Of Sound




The sound used in the opening scene to Sherlock Holmes was a mixture of Diegetic & Non-Diegetic Sounds, here's a summary of the sounds I observed during the opening scene. 

The scene starts with a piano playing slow atmospheric music (Piano & Violin), a horse & cart is then heard in the background.
The tempo of the music then speeds up, & becomes more dramatic, a gun is heard being cocked, barrel of a gun is heard being spun.
The music becomes even more dramatic still with the introduction of drums beating rhythmically during the scene, a man running through the street (we hear his feet) passing a lot of diegetic sounds, such as a fire burning, a bird crowing. 
The Crescendo of the scene is Synchronous mix of the atmospheric music, & glass breaking, which gave a very dramatic and heart held feel to the ending of the scene.
