Task 28: Analysing sound in previous student work. part 1

This is the first students work I analysed. At the beginning, we hear ambient sound, which immediately indicates to the audience that something isn't right.
When the fire comes on screen, we can hear the logs crackling quite clearly, which gets quieter as the camera moves away. This is effective as it feels like the audience are in the  scene, and depends disbelief.
We also hear something that sounds like a heartbeat, which creates tension, then we hear crying, and hyperventilating. When we see the tea dripping, the sound is very loud, and as everything else is silent, it makes it eerie.
overall, I think sound was effective.
