Opening Sequence
- Speaking noises – possibly learning how to speak
- hard to listen to non-diegetic noises that are fast paced, like it’s building something and it’s mechanical and inhuman which is jarring
- close sonic perspective of the woman when clothes are being removed (muffled) which is uncomfortably intimate and could be from the unconscious woman’s perspective
Shopping Centre Sequence
- The alien is quiet which contrasts to everyone else being very loud (diegetic/murmuring/indistinct) which makes Laura seem emotionless and isolated
Middle Sequence
- non-diegetic eerie noise follows her footsteps – ritualistic and builds tension – hunting music (luring men/rape etc)
- drumming like eerie sound when motorcyclist is catching the man and eerie noises – heartbeat/anxiety/anger
- lack of sound (not silent) during the mirror scene
Ending Sequence
- calm music when Laura is sleeping in the trees
- no music when she is running because it is scary enough already
- she makes scared noises – emotion/shows brutality of the man
- eerie noise – reversal of previous scenes
- Quiet when it’s the smoke and the snow
- diegetic sound fades away when eerie noise comes on
