Time Persists 

1.

1. Yes, there is dialogue through out the film including the boy counting and the argument between both groups towards the end.
2. The dialogue is not heard alone. While the boy is counting in the beginning of the film there are background noises going on and an eerie xylophone playing during the beginning frames.
3. The dialogue is pretty constant throughout the film. Starts with the boy quietly counting and then talking while his walking around looking for the girl. As he approaches a tree he suspects the girl to be hiding behind, the music gets louder and then his voice gets quick and loud when he yells out “ I gotcha!”. Then when the two parties join and begin their confrontation they start out just disagreeing in a stern but relatively quiet manner and then build up to yelling at each other.
4. Yes, there are cuts to whoever is speaking and then cuts to the opposing person’s reaction.

2.

1. There is  xylophone playing and then the man counting in a whisper.
2. There is background noise over people playing and the xylophone.
3. The fact that they are grown people playing hide and seek. When they face off at the end all of the ones who don’t want to grown up equipped themselves with toy weapons and other things kids play with, while the other side (grown ups) had a big clock to signify that the kids are fighting against time to grow up.
4. The song in in the beginning thats played on the xylophone gives the viewer a creepy feeling and makes it seem like something bad is going to happen.

3. 

1. Yes there is both instrumental and song music in this film. Drums are played when the boy thinks he’s about to discover where the girl has been hiding and then the song is played both in the opening of the film on the xylophone and at the end during the credits its sung.
2. The song is at the background and the instrumental drums are played in the forefront.
3. The song is played when things are calmer and the instrumentals are played when things pick up. At the end when the song is sung after the film it definitely adds emotion to what you just watched.

4.

1. It adds to the film in the ways I described above.
2. The song lets you know that something bad is coming. The sound of bubbles when they are facing off is to emphasize that they are kids. 
3. The song is usually a lullaby especially when play so soft when played outside in the daylight it sets a scene for a different intention. The silence during the face off shows the seriousness.

Joe

1. There is no dialogue.

1. Yes.
2. Yes, there are sounds from both the setting and from objects, they are all fairly emphasized for dramatic purposes.
3. I think it’s to show us that he is sensitive to noise. He hears every little thing going on around him. I believe it is to make us think that he has a tipping point and that these sounds are getting to him.
4. The loud sounds are annoying and I think make you feel for Joe.

3. 

1. There is a song played in the beginning of the film and again at the end. Guitar, harmonica, and singing at only in the end of the film. Its folky with some blues. Slow tempo but not slow dancing slow.
2. Music is played in the foreground.
3. I think the music is used to make you feel kinda sad for Joe in the beginning and then happy in the end of the film. They chose a good song because it has the ability to make you feel either way. I do think it contrasts the scene before it starts playing because the film leads you to believe that Joe is going to go get back at the man for spilling on and staining his boots, but it switches and showed that he was making good out of a bad situation. 

4.

1. The emphasis on the sound effects make you think that time is moving really slow and that maybe something is going to happen.
2. They make the viewer uncomfortable and annoyed for Joe 
3. With no dialogue it forces you to look closer and listen to everything and find out different reasons and means for each new thing that happens on the screen.
