The crashing and smashing in the environment also creates a sense of danger and catastrophe  therefore, alerting the audience even more.

Non Diegetic sound - Non diegetic sound is when it is not part of the environment in the film and, only us as the audience can hear it.

In this scene, the non-diegetic sound used in the soundtrack in the background. The soundtrack used is quite smooth and synchronous within the opening. It is used to emphasise how consistent and calm the scene goes, everything flows fluently with the non-diegetic sound. The soundtrack contains a guitar playing quite high notes to put emphasis, the normal everyday routine the protagonist has.

Dialogue - This is simply a conservation between two or more characters, it can not between one as that would be a monologue.

This is an example of dialogue within a film. However a dialogue can contain certain ways of speaking

Mode Of Address - This is the way the subject is communicating with others, and how the audience read it. In this scene we can clearly tell Walter tone is aggressive however, formal as well as he explains the perks of being a meth dealer.

It creates an effect for the audience of excitement and suspense nevertheless, when the tone changes with the mood of the scene it adds more emphasis on the emotions portrayed.

Asynchronous sound. - This is where the sound is out of sync within the scene.  In this scene we see that quite happy joyful music, is being played over a serious fight. This can create confusion within the scene, or subvert the emotions of seriousness and turn them into joy or laughter as a result, creating a juxtaposition within this scene.

Sound Motif.  - A sound motif is a piece of music or catch phrase that is commonly linked to a character or film.

This is a form of sound motif as it is has instant-reconginiton when the music appears. It creates iconography for the audience so that it increases the publicity of the TV show. The music is quite upbeat and happy but is subverted with, very dull images of a boring office creating a juxtaposition.
