Life’s too short to walk around angry, so be happy and sing it out loud. The movie Trolls was recently released in 2016 and tells a story about how trolls try to survive the annual trollstice and escape from the bergans. Filmmakers use the theme happiness and how happiness comes from within, not from material things or outward circumstances. Filmmakers used sound in many different ways to portray the theme of happiness and tell the story of the trolls joyous lives.
The first prime example of sound being used in Trolls was when Poppy and the trolls threw a party because they thought they were free from the bergens. Branch was totally against the idea of a party and was upset that the other trolls wanted to follow through with it. They threw the party and shortly into it, one of the head bergens heard them, showed up, snatched a few bergans and took them to bergen town. The type of sound used in the scene where the party took place is called synchronized sound. This scene showed synchronized sound because all the trolls were singing together at the party. This element was effective because the trolls singing together showed that they were happy and having a good time all gathered together not worrying about the bergens at all. …show more content…

Poppy beating on the bell was a great example of this when the trolls were celebrating after Poppy and Branch saved their kidnaped friends and they all rejoiced once they were back together again.

    In Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, sound is used as an effect to scare people and create a “spooky” feeling. They used the sounds of a storm with rain and thunder, the sound of footsteps coming up from behind people, and other noises like creaky stairs, floors, and doors. This created that “haunted” or “spooky” feeling that would be used over and over again in horror films for decades. When they used sound effects, it was to emphasize that something was either happening or about to happen.

    In the scene when Amélie’s perfume cap drops to the floor and hits the wall tile, sound effects emphasize the visual image of what actually happened. Before the cap hit the floor, the background music became silent, and all the audience heard was a loud band from the cap. After the cap hit the floor, it quickly rolled, and knocked a tile off the wall. After the cap hit the tile, a loud rumble emphasized that there was importance that lied behind that wall. The director applied multiple sound effects to key the importance as to the box that was behind the wall. Although the sounds were simple, it created an interesting vibe to the audience. Some of the key sounds of the scene were the cap hitting the floor, the cap knocking the tile of the wall, and the loud rumble that occurred after the hole in the wall was created. On the other hand, this film also uses silence expressively. In the final scene, when Amélie greets Nino at her door, silence expressively describes the mood of the two characters. The only sound the audience hears is the kisses they are giving to each other, but even their facial expressions describe that they are in love with each other and meant to be

For example, in the scene when Martin Vanger allows Mikael into his house and treats him to wine and dinner, a constant whistling of wind can be heard until Martin eventually gets up and closes the door, allowing Martin’s mistress to reveal that nobody knows that she is there, and thus giving Martin the ability to kill her. This sound effect returns later at a very pivotal point in the story when Mikael breaks into Martin’s house to find evidence, and is caught by Martin because Martin hears the whistling of the open door and goes to close it. It is this kind of attention to detail that causes Fincher’s films to be so articulately entertaining, yet also extremely deep and important to his time.
