Analysis on sound

• A sequence from ''Into the Wild'' directed by Sean Penn. 2007, USA.

This sequence starts with an image of a field and there's off-screen sound from a tractor, which appears seconds later. There are voices which become louder as soon as the persons appear. The sound of the tractor also becomes louder as the camera jumps closer, this is to convey a feeling of the noisy process of gathering the crops. Diegetic sound is mixed with non-diegetic, as a song starts to play. The sound creates a realistic feeling as the camera films two men from the outside of the tractor, their voices are not so loud as the sound of the tractor. The song becomes louder and then bridges with the next shot when the same men are in a pub, then it disappears and the voices become louder. There are off-screen sounds of men talking. We can hear diegetic sounds from cards falling, doors opening and closing, this, again, creates a realistic feeling for the spectator.
