I just finished reading Douglas Murray's guest article on Designing Sound during which he states:

BG sounds connect the component shots into a whole scene and also separates the scenes one from the other by the changes in sound at the transitions between scenes.

This got me thinking about the effect of playing with BGs to deliberately affect perception. Can anyone think of an example where two scenes in different places keep an element of the previous BG? I'm thinking of how BG manipulation can be used creatively to play with audience perception. Is there an example of two consecutive scenes that ordinarily should have different BGs but somehow retain certain elements?

As Douglas Murray states, BGs serve to define time, space, mood and duration. But I'm just wondering if anyone has really experimented by messing with these "rules".
