Task 17

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.
