Taxi Driver, 1976, USA

Director: Martin Scorsese

Genre: Thriller

Music composer: Bernard Herrmann


Sound:

  • Opening title with racey music. links with 'Psycho' as is a similar style and has the same music composer.
  • Diagetic sounds during the office scene.
  • Off screen diagetic sounds during office scene. for example, cars passing by, city sounds etc.
  • Monologue. Recorded voice over played while the main character is driving. voice over acts as his subconcious voice.

Good comments. Can you say a bit more what Scorsese was trying to achieve here?
