Max Payne



                           1
                   
Non diegetic sound - orchestral
Used a lot before films, so the audience should be very familiar with the tune

2
Non diegetic – dialogue
As there’s no picture, it makes the audience focus on the dialogue and what the man is saying
3
Diegetic – water splashing, man gasping
The film suddenly changes as it goes from there being no picture to a man trying not to drown. This could make the audience jump
4
Diegetic – water splashing, man gasping
These next two shots keep the audience at the edge of their seats as there’s a lot of dramatic tension as you’re not sure what will happen next
5
Diegetic – water splashing, man gasping

6
Diegetic – bubbles, water
All the loud noise has stopped and scene isn’t as tense as before
7
Non Diegetic – The man’s thoughts
The film focuses on the dialogue again as it has moved to a different shot of the man and not much is happening on screen as the dramatic tension has stopped
8
Non Diegetic and parallel - Eerie music
Off screen Diegetic - baby crying
As before the tension starts to build up again as the audience aren’t sure what’s behind that door, but as there’s eerie music they can sense that there’s danger
9
Non diegetic and parallel – Eerie music, wind
On screen diegetic – footsteps
Off screen diegetic – baby crying
The audience may be a bit scared as the man has started walking towards the dangerous looking door
10
Non diegetic - dialogue
The shot moves back to the man drowning, but again it’s quite calm and you can only hear his thoughts
11
Off screen diegetic – Clock ticking, baby crying
As the man opens the door and enters a clock starts ticking
12
Off screen diegetic – Clock ticking
Eerie shot as you see a dead woman and the only sound you can hear is a clock ticking, so it’s very tense
13
Off screen diegetic – Clock ticking
The audience could be very confused as they aren’t sure what exactly happened but they’ll probably want to find out why everything is the way it is
14
Non diegetic – strong wind
On screen diegetic – Chiming of baby mobile
Off screen diegetic – clock ticking

15
Non diegetic - dialogue
The audience anticipate what will happen when the man says “It was an easy mistake to make
16
Diegetic – siren
This shot gives a sense of normality to the film, as all the previous scenes have been quite tense and surreal, so the audience relaxes
