There is a mix of non-diegetic and diegetic sounds which make the audience feel tense and on edge. The audience are welcomed to the sight of Jason Voorhees killing the two men and climbing out of his grave. The diegetic sounds of rain, thunder and lighting are to create an ominous atmosphere and to establish to the viewer that the threat is dangerous and he has come out of his grave unaffected by pain. The music intensifies until Tommy yells no! and he is then woken up with pants. There is no music in this scene as it reminds the viewer that it is not a dream but reality. Jason's iconic song is played when the camera is on him and it reminds the audience, who are either fans or first time watchers, that this is Jason: the ultimate killer. The audience focuses mainly on Jason Voorhees because he is the anti hero of the story. Although he kills many people, he is the one that is to be favoured among the many other characters because most of the audience are masochists. The song is played to us to make us identify that there is an imminent threat and it build tension within the viewer before then revealing the jumpscare to us.
