Star Wars Trailer- Sound analysis.

During the majority of the trailer there is Non diegetic sound which is used to portray serenity as the music is played by high keys on a piano
, yet could be ironic as energy may soon rise. This could be used to create questions in the audience about how this film will be.



Although at 1:10 the of the Non-diegetic sound contrasts the beginning part, it starts to pick up pace. This Informs the story line of the film because it suggests the film won't be simple, it will take a sharp turn. Foreshadowing perhaps a war.




The first clear Diegetic sound is shown at 1:15, yet it is only for one second- very short and sharp. This may have been used to suggest the importance of the story line itself rather than the speech. The fact it's short creates tension as it leaves questions to What is "All of it" and how does it relate?



There is also Non-Diegetic sound used at 1:20 in terms of the sound effects. This was used to show the audience the flying object in both sight and hearing. This would have been used to set the scene.






Despite the lack of  Diegetic sound, Non-diegetic sound is used throughout this trailer in terms of narrative, this helps raise the tension because as the music gets louder, the short statements said become more powerful more moving and more questions are left behind. Making the specific target audience want to watch the entire film to find out more.
