Sound can affect any character in film in any way a film director wishes it to: there are no limits to how mood and sound interact. Even silence, the absence of sound, heightens the established mood of a scene or film.
In a film industry, there are three categories of a sound – dialogue and narration, music, and sound effects.
Dialogue and Narration in film: “This includes the emotionality of the spoken sounds, the subtext of the words, the connotation and denotation of words, the literal meaning and implied meaning of speeches, and rhetorical devices like symbolism and verbal irony”.
Music in film: “This includes the qualities of the music, like major or minor key, tempo, orchestration and lyrics. Lyrics can enhance the story or dialogue”
Sound Effects in film: “These are the added sounds that illustrate or complement the action of the film, Equally, sound effects might carry symbolic meaning, like a knock on a door symbolically representing opportunity knocking”.

The “Alien” film is a science fiction horror film. Horror films are disturbing movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, disgust, panic, alarm, and shock from viewers through the means of the gruesome and supernatural. And sound effects, music and actors dialogues are the best instruments to transmit the all of the above to the audiences.
The musical score for “Alien” was composed by Jerry Goldsmith, conducted by Lionel Newman, and performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Rather than focusing on themes, Goldsmith creates a bleak and dissonant sound scape that fits the film’s dark and intense atmosphere, with only a few “romantic” cues.
The scene, that “Alien” is more remembered for than any other, is the scene when the alien bursts out of Kane’s chest, killing him in the process. This scene is very memorable for a number of reasons, primarily because of its level of gore, and disgusting nature. Kane does an excellent job portraying the pain of what it would feel like to be eaten alive from the inside. The sound effects also do a good job in making the audience imagine what is going on inside Kane’s body. Audiences had never seen anything quite like that before this movie.
There are various sounds of wind howling, screeching sounds, and monotonous circling of violin and electronics. It’s amazing and ironic to see a soundtrack make such an impact, when the sounds are low key and faint, barely audible except in certain turning points of the film.

The opening scene of the movie presents this rather well. While small lines appear before a black screen revealing the title, we see it fade into space, while a subtle, low key flute plays in the background with howling sounds. It completely counters the main title sequence feel of “Star Wars”, another great science fiction movie, with its trumpets of extravagance. This subtle low-key soundtrack gives the “Alien” a true space feel, and resorts back to its “In space no one can hear you scream” motto.
