Sound in Bonnie and Clyde

Dialogue – Bonnie and Clyde referring to the character of C.W. Moss as ‘boy’ establishes the idea that he is looked down upon and isn’t respected by the pair.

Underscoring – As the final scene fades and ‘The End’ appears on screen, a quiet and sombre piece of music plays. This emotionally impacts the film as it reinforces to the audience that the main characters are dead and their crime spree has come to an end.

Sound Motif – Throughout the film, an upbeat song plays while the characters flee from places they have just robbed, adding an almost comedic tone to these specific scenes.

Sound Mixing – The use of bird noises during exterior scenes adds a sense of realism and verisimilitude to the film.
