The use of the soundtrack 'lovely day', when Franco is clearly in a struggle, actually has quite a comedic edge to it. The contrast of the song to the situation is so great, it makes the audience feel more relaxed when watching because of how upbeat and happy it is. It also makes the scene seem less stressful which makes it easier to watch.In Trance, the use of the sneaky, energetic soundtracks make the audience feel on edge, and it creates tension as the audience will now be expecting i.e. an action sequence. These soundtracks will also get the audience exited and they will stay interested in the film.
Why Boyle is an Auteur
Boyle is definitely an auteur. Quite an obvious way of defining him as one is by looking at his use of music. His films tend to link up with the beat and pace of the music he uses, and then hits a sort of 'wall' mid way or towards the end of his films, i.e. in 127 hours, the music all builds up to the amputation scene, in trainspotting, the music used is very fast pacing until it hits that 'wall' when the baby dies. Boyle is a great example of an auteur because of his originality in his films, and because of the fact that he isn't afraid to try something different.
