Analysis of sound in the opening credits of ‘Evil Dead’
Evil dead is a film similar in genre to our film however it
is an old film (made in the early 80s). In the credits we hear swirling distorted
sound (which goes with the gory red swirling font used) alongside dramatic
cinematic orchestra music. The usage of orchestra is to be expected as all film
round this time used it but its effectiveness cannot be undermined. The grandness of a full orchestra adds to the
tone of the film and makes the characters seem even more vulnerable as if this
wall of sound is closing in on them. Finale is a choir of voices – makes it
seem epic and as if something powerful is going on.
