Analysis of Fast and Furious 8 1 vs 3 car scene

Effects in the movie
People screaming- Foley effect
Smashing glass as the car drives through the shop- Foley effect
Tyres screeching- sound effect
Dialogue- Driver talking on walkie talkie (mid-range)
Music- Dramatic music as background (faint)
Clicking noise for the switches (Foley)
There are a lot of crashing noises/
The use of Shaun’s footsteps when he is running away (loud). This is to emphasise that he is running away.

A brief analysis
The dialogue of the actors amongst all the engine noises makes the viewer feel that there is a lot going on and everything is hectic. At 03.44 the dialogue becomes louder than the car noises to draw attention to what is being said. There is a lot of sounds to do with the pedals. At 4.10 the dialogue changes and the cars are overpowering the dialogue and the overall atmosphere.

Location vs studio-recorded audio.

Location- Engine noises, tyres screeching, cars crashing, birds and background noises of nature, traffic noise.

Studio- People screaming, Dialogue of drivers, Clicking noises, footsteps, music. Breathing, dialogue, animal noises, Foley effects, clapping, the rustling of clothes.
