In the film Aviator Speed Record sound and editing are crutial elements of the film and help to create the films genre of suspense. The editing begins off slow, to show the viewer the setting, and occasionally speeds up to show the main characters point of view. The edits maintain their slow rhythm until the plane crash where the edits speed up quite to convey the characters confusion and the fast pace of the event.
The original background music in the scene shows that it is based on a period of time in the 1900's, but it soon becomes a suspenseful piece played by an orchestra. This makes the viewer subconsciously realise that something that could be tragic is about to happen. The music becomes really quiet as the engine stutters, and adds to the suspense as the viewer now knows what is about to happen, but doesn't know how it will end. The music remains slow as the plane is crashing and remains slow and suspensful to keep up the genre.
Overall, the sound and editing help to improve the movie, and form the genre of the film.
