The Hunger Games
Here you can see examples of enhanced sound, from the cutting of the rope at the start to the heavy breathing. This creates tension as well as emotion, he heavy breathing connotes terror, as she hyperventilates at the sight of a small girl being shot. It also shows effective use of diegetic sound, the slight clatter of leaves before the older boy emerges from the bushes shows that something is coming. After Katniss saves Rue from the trap the audience are lulled into a false sense of security, which is complemented by the use of now sound. We are able to hear the enhanced sound of breathing and relief as Rue is released.
