Case 342 Sound Analysis

The cinematography and the editing contradict the voiceover, or the narrator, which in this case is unreliable. This is known as dramatic irony, as the audience know that the one being interviewed is lying whereas the interviewer does not know this. This makes the audience engaged with the film and it makes them think overtime. The voiceover can be considered both diegetic and non-diegetic. The interviewer can hear this as well as the audience who can hear this throughout the enigma.

The non-diegetic soundtrack plays an eerie and ambient sound, which creates tension and anxiety, as well as creating a more dramatic effect when the door opens at the end of the sequence as the music stops suddenly.

The audience know that this is an interview by the diegetic sound of the recording device that records the interview. This makes the situation more realistic and believable.
