Sound Deconstruction On The Devil Inside


  • The sequence first begins with off-screen diegetic sound of screaming (at 0.00s). The screaming creates an enigma within the audience, as the audience cannot see who is screaming and where it is coming from.
  • The audience can also hear off-diegetic sounds of objects smashing (at 0.03s). This further builds to the climax.
  • At 0.06s the audience hear on-screen diegetic sound of a woman roaring. The audience can also hear on-screen diegetic dialogue which is quite fast paced e.g. "we need to get her under control" (at 0.14s). Therefore, the audience can see this scene to be quite tense. From the use of diegetic sound such as the roaring, the audience can also note the genre of the film.
  • The on-screen diegetic sounds of the woman clicking her bones (at 0.18s) is conventional to the sub-genre, allowing the audience to build their understanding of the narrative. Furthermore, by the identifying the sub-genre (a possession film), the audience can note a possessive movement is taking place.
  •  The absence of non-diegetic sound creates more realism, making the scene more realistic.
