Sound in Suckerpunch

The beginning of Suckerpunch starts with a a non-diegetic voiceover. The feminine soft tone, almost a whisper, feels like she is telling a story to a child before bed. This voiceover creates a sense of calm and comfort in her soft tones. However, the use of pathetic fallacy in the sound of thunder is used to forshadow that something bad is going to happen. Fade in of sound is used for the non-diegetic soundtrack. First enters with just the voice, then bass and drum build up, which also build up tension.
Then the bass and drum stop and the voice continues for one line which creates a moment of silence which is used to rapidly increase the suspense. The use of long eerie notes also adds to the tension. The low echoing bass drum is used when the girl dropping to the floor on her knees. Which shows how emphasis on her actions. The deepest to the tone also shows that its her whole body weight falling the floor which shows how she's lost control or doesnt care about her body anymore. A bass drum is often used in horror movies as it creates a sense of suspense when used  on it's own, this is because the long echo the drum creates suggests that you are alone  and isolated. The famous use of echos in films is 'Hello' that echos down long dark passageways which creates a sense of fear as not knowing what it in the dark.
The non-diegetic sound also continues into the funeral scene, but the drums start to speed up the tempo. Until another significant moment, when the man reads the will, the music fades out to silence to show build up tension and show his anger. The sound of him throwing alcohol into the fire is heard, the sound of the fire intensiving suggests that his anger is increasing. The pathetic fallacy of the thunder is also heard again to show something bad is happening. When the man pushes the door, the thuds are emphasised to show that he has to use a lot of force against the door which the girl is trying to close. This creates suspense and fear as the girl is physically under attack.
