In the film Clown Train how does sound contribute to the atmosphere of this film? Describe what you heard? Can you make reference to another genre film and how they utilise sound to create tension and a unique filmic space?

I think the sound that was used in the film “Clown Train” was excellent. The sound was recorded nicely to the ideal level and the sound effects that were used in the film create a certain scary atmosphere that completes what is being presented on screen. I like the sound effects of the stopping train to start off the film, it creates a kind of anxiety to a sense of obscurity that are much needed in the film. The setting of the film is pretty simply, two cast, and one old train, however with the touch of the sound and sound effects, I think it’s a key point to its success.
I recently watched SAW VII, and I realized that the sound that were being used in the film are very much non-diegetic sound. It creates a very uncertainty atmosphere to surprise the audiences. The music that were used combined with what is showing on the screen tends to create a “horror” tension.
