Sound is something that no matter what has a large role in the success of
a thriller film. In Shutter Island,
the sound was generated by using an orchestra with both pre-recorded features
and film-specific features. The sound department did a great job to keep the
quality of the sound without much distortion, this goes for effects and music.
For clear reasons they chose to keep the rain and storm sounds loud and clear,
allowing the audience to be immersed in the sound. This loud style is very
popular throughout the film. In addition, as most thrillers tend to do which
this film does, is to ascend the volume of the sounds or descend the volume of
the sound, depending on if the director wants to get people ready for
something, or to ease them out. Thankfully, live music was used in this film
versus digitally created sounds; this fits the era of the film as well.
