Ryan Gosling is a getaway driver and he has a rule. If you're not in the car within the next 5 minutes to commit the crime he will leave. he uses a watch to check the time.
They finally get in the car, Ryan gosling drives through the city as if nothing happened while listening to the police radio scanner and the basketball game.
The purpose of the Sound Effects
The music comes straight away and you already start to feel tense as the beat of it its quite loud and its at the same pace as an average heartbeat.
It makes you tensed as you don't know what is going to happen, are they gonna get caught? They give you information but not enough to make you happy. They tell you that they are about to commit a crime, that the police are on their way to the crime scene and that one of the guys its taking a long time to get into the car. But what we don't know is if he is going to get away with it. You always think that the worse is going to happen after you over-think a situation on your head and you create a story which it might never happen, this is how they build the tension and make you nervous and worry about their situation.
The ticking Watch - The watch implies that the time is running out. also the watch sounds louder than it would in real life, they have done that to make you nervous as its loud and also quite quick. Also makes you worry even more and you think that the other guy might not make it and Ryan Gosling will leave without him and they guy will get in trouble.
Basketball Game - Its worrying and mysterious that he is listening to a basketball. Its worrying because he should be concentrating on what he is doing otherwise he could go to jail. And mysterious because you don't know why he is listening to that.
Police - The fact that he is listening to the police radio scanner makes sense as he needs to know what they are up to. That builds up tension as they say how close the are to the crime scene. For example the woman says that they were 1 minute way from the crime scene and the second way wasn't even in the car yet. So it gets you thinking in your head ' come on, hurry up'
Environment - On the background you can hear the traffic and also the police siren which means they are close to the crime scene and they will be there soon.
These sound effects blend together well as the first thing you hear is the music, police siren and the basketball game all together. Then the music starts to fade and you hear the gate opening overtaking the music. The tickling clock goes over everything then i fades out a bit letting the basketball game and the police radio scanner go over all the other sounds while the music is still on the background. then the police siren comes in louder again and so does the car. The music starts to get louder as theres no sound on the background apart from the dialogue, ticking clock and the siren alarm.
Then the ticking clock stops and the sound of the car and the police radio scanner overtakes everything else, yet the music is still on the background.
This created tension as theres points when everything is quite loud at the same time. The ticking clock is ticking, the basketball game is on, the police radio scanner is on and so is the music. Hearing a lot of different sounds all together can make you nervous and tense.
Also when it all goes quite and you can hear the music on the background and the ticking clock really loud it makes you really tense and theres nothing else you can hear, only the ticking clock. It kind of sounds like a heart beat which could make you heart go at the same pace. So when it gets quicker it makes you even more tense.
