Dym title sound hwk

In this title sequence there is a use of both diegetic and non-diegetic sound to portray different feelings for the situation that is taking place.

The sequence starts off under water, which we can tell due to the visuals and the distorted noise from passing objects. This would be diegetic noise since that if someone was in the position of the camera they would be able to hear the sounds as well. There is eerie and suspenseful music being played in the background which is  non-diegetic sound and it adds to the feeling of death and danger which is shown later on the scene. The distorted noises also makes the audience feel a little distanced from what is happening as if something is being suppressed. It would be likely for us to find out more later on in the film as to what the scene is about. The proof of the distance is due to it being a dream which we find out at the end. As the robot breaks the glass to save the unknown character sounds become clearer as we pop up above water but we still can't hear everything that is going on. As we take a look back at the girl who will surely drown the sound becomes distorted but a clear alarm is played which is followed by the man waking up.
