Sound -
Sound covers any noise heard throughout a film and fall into two main categories: 
1) diegetic (sound from within the 'world' of the film i.e dialogue, footsteps).

Purpose & Power of Sound -
Can emphasize scene, or provoke emotions from the audience, but like editing, good sound is unnoticed, natural and added mainly post-production.


Uses in our Film -
As many famous directors have said, sound is just as powerful as film. So, in the opening sequence the sound must be perfect.
Being a thriller surrounding quite a mysterious beginning, a moody, deep sound should create the perfect atmosphere. It'll emphasize the gravitas of the situation and enhance the enigmas presented.
