Sound effects analysis-Drive

The purpose of the sound effects in the clip is too set the tone of the movie to know it's a intense action-drama withed with suspense also the purpose of the clip is too entertain the audience by putting them on their seats through tension  and it sets the genre of the movie through the tension that's build in the clip.
an atmosphere is created through the scene by sound effects to create suspense.

the scene is about a getaway driver (Ryan Gosling) who is on a job to get two guys out of a heist quickly, he has a strict rule to only wait 5 mins to get them out of the cop radar and he will leave if they dont get there in time.

The ticking watch is constant reminder that time is going by and the two burglars may be left behind and that the police will respond soon, this creates suspense because its a reminder to the viewer that it will get action backed by the time the ticking has stop either they would have got away or the police will after them so we are pulled in to know if they will escape. the watch is abnormally loud to be empathise that time is a huge factor here. 

The radio creates a feeling that Gosling has the situation under control and that he's a profesional because he isn't stressing out or looking worried also the radio gives elements of later plans in the film to do with escape also it shows motive.

The police radio is source of information of police activity so we now that they are responding so they may soon be on Gosling and his team, so it gives us updated on how much 'the enemy' knows, so we wait to see their move.

and lastly the environment sounds play a good part here from things like the engine being displayed louder than normal to remind the audience Gosling's role here is the most important, to get away and other sounds like police sirens bring more tension because we as the audience know that's near by and catch the getaway car.


one last element to the mixing of the sound of the clip is the volume of specific sounds like the watch ticking to the music. eg. the watch ticks loudest from most things in the clip from the moment it sets off and another sound is the music the way it starts as its normal volume during Gosling driving then once he stops the vehicle and waits for the robbers it becomes quieter but keeping the same base like a heart beat, the music reflects Gosling because it gets quieter when he's focusing and his heart beat becomes more defined, and through that it creates loads of tension because we do the same as Gosling and concrete with him and listen and watch for the details making ready for the next move.
one last piece of sound to create suspense would be the sound of the door being opened and door open siren/alarm playing because its the sound of Gosling and robber 1 waiting for robber 2, the sound of the door being open makes him seem much longer then he is actually taking.
