Catch Me If You Can
This opening did not contain any diegetic sound and consisted of just the soundtrack which is non-diegetic. The soundtrack was jazzy and depending on what was happening in the film, the pace of the sound changed accordingly. For example it tended to speed up at parts in order to build up tension at an important part of the movie, then slowed down again to normal tempo. The music helped to emphasise the sub genre which is crime because where crime was shown the music seemed to draw attention to what was happening on screen.
Vertigo
This opening contained both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Examples of the diegetic sound were noises such as the dialogue of the characters, a gun shot and also the movement of characters. Ambient sound included climbing the ladder. The non-diegetic sound was a soundtrack which was fast paced to convey eagerness and energy, and this fit in because the characters were running. The pitch changed from high to low according to the action happening on screen. We thought the sub-genre was action because the soundtrack was fast paced which shows energy and commotion. This goes along with the crime sub-genre
Face Off
The sound played a large part in the opening sequence of this film. When the mood changed the non diegetic music tended to change along with the visuals, for example when he was with his son the mood was happy and content so the sound was the music was more mellow and calm, however when the man with the gun was in shot the atmosphere was dramatically changed by the music because it turned more slow and depressive. Diegetic sound included the shot gun, and when he fell of the horse a sound effect of a horse was played. The sound also fit in with the film because when the man was shot the whole scene was silent. This showed shock and disbelief.
