Hanna Analysis

We were supposed to watch and analys all the sound that was played in the movie Hanna. We had started out by watching an escape scene in the movie where Hanna tries to gain freedom. We were supposed to listen to both Diegetic sounds and Non-diegetic, roughly enough there was only one piece of diegetic sound that was played. In the 4 minute short video there had been a lot of diegetic sound played in the film, there were a lot more sound effects but these were the ones that I got the:


Door open/close
Humming
Door lock open/closed
Glass break
Gun shots
Light flashing
Amplified breathing
Crawling
Voice through microphone
Wind
Alarm
Hatch opening
Bullet shells hitting the floor
Locker open/close
Disinfectant spray in airlock
Airlock open/close
Etc...


When we watched the movie the second time we were supposed to write a paragraph on how the sound effects the main character. This was what I wrote:

In the beginning of the movie Hanna we can hear the protagonist being trapped in some kind of prison, we can tell that by the sounds of the heavy prison door being locked behind her. The next thing that I looked at was when the protagonist was crying to the antagonist which signified that all hope was lost for her. As the huge heavy prison doors were being spun open there was a
up-beat non-diegetic sound building up which signified that the protagonist will do something that involves her to react to the current situation. As the up-beat music stopes there is a pause of silence which is then transitioned by a neck snapping from the protagonist to the antagonist. Then she starts her epic chase where it is the protagonist vs. the antagonist.
