SOUND ANALYSIS OF 'DONNIE DARKO'
written by naomi




Here is a Camtasia I have made with annotations based on the type of sound used within the film.
Donnie Darko is very similar to our film idea because it is also a psychological thriller and also attracts the same audience type we intend on aiming our film at ( 25 - 31 years). In the opening of the title sequence there is diegetic sounds of thunder and rain this has indications to darkness and evil as a thunderstorm is commonly quite a thrilling and daunting. After this there is a seamless transitions into birds chirping, and the wind howling this gives us a sense of a new day or start and suggests that it is the morning. The next transition leads us into a soundtrack called Echo and the Bunnymen's 'The Killing Moon'. This song helps contribute to the calm tone set in the atmosphere.  The beats begins to pick up when Donnie goes faster on the bike - making the music parallel to the on screen setting.
