Sound

Diegetic sounds are used in the beginning of the film Push, As the camera shot gets a close-up on the maids watch, all that is heard is the ticking noise of the clock- because the man seems to be in a rush, it indicates that he maybe running out of time, or that he has to be somewhere at a certain time. There is also an electrical sound when the man pushes the boy out of the room using his powers,- this emphasizes the sound of his powers, this sound is used throughout the movie, there is a specific sound for each power/ abilities a person has, for example pushes have an electrical sound, bleeders have a white noise sound etc this gives an idea of what type of abilities a person has, for pushers the electrical sound gives it that power and strength that this man possess, and the bleeders abilities to make you bleed by screaming, giving that ‘white noise’ affect, gives the viewers the idea of how painful it would be. It helps add to the thrill and excitement that the viewers already feel as they watch the film.   

That scene then finishes and is taken over by the narrators voice, as she talks she gives us clues in what is to be seen in this film, like people being hunted down, battles between groups fighting to get the best weapons for there countries, and people being experimented on. As this scene goes on, it gets more intense and screams, explosions and media reports are being heard as the narrator continues to speak- this gives the audience a rough idea of what is to be seen in the movie and shows that this is an action packed movie. The sounds in the beginning, gives the film that 'edge' that goes with action movies. This gives the audience a better appreciation of the film and again helps to set the mood for the audience.
