Analysing Sound

The clip is from The Crow, starring Brandon Lee. It is about a murder victim who is resurrected to seek revenge on the criminals who killed his girlfriend. The clip I am analysing is the part where he emerges from the grave and returns to the crime scene in order to transform into The Crow.
The music to start with is moody and brooding, as we follow him through the graveyard and back alleys. This is to symbolise the character's pain. The music also gets louder accompanying the appearance of the crow, in order to highlight the bird's presence as a signifier of death.
The diagetic sounds in the scene include creaking earth as he emerges from the ground, squelching mud and footprints in the puddles. There is also the constant noise of pouring rain, and these all add Gothic atmosphere to the scene. The crow is also a constant in the extract, its flapping wings and cawing adding to the mood and leading the character through the scene. We also hear the dialogue of the murderers and the sounds in the flashback. The sounds are echoed to show that they are distant. During the flashback, each cut is accompanied with a flash of sound or white noise to show how traumatic the events were. Diagetic sounds during this section are the gunshots, the sirens and the shattering glass which are all amplified and distorted. During the flashback which includes his happy memories, the music is mournful to represent his loss. As he completes his transformation, a rock song kicks in which gets louder to symbolise his rebirth.
