Blood Simple

Audio is emphasised when the particular item is the main subject in the frame (e.g. putting out cigarette, opening envelope)

There is the constant atmosphere sound of the crickets. Sound of fan whirring emphasised to enhance suspense in the scene.

Dialogue between two central characters – cuts between characters occur before audio is finished. Able to show responses to dialogue.

Audio to aid off camera storyline (e.g. man being sick in toilet).
