Soundtrack
The sound track is used to create effects for the audience to
create a tense atmosphere that is relevant and fits the genre of the film. When
cage is introduced into the film, the background music is a synchronous sound
and this is where you, as cage is going into battle. But as it is a battle
sound, gun shots and explosions are heard and this is a non-diegetic sound, and
there being linked together. This this affects the audience because when they
hear guns and explosions, it normally means something bad is going to happen.
When cage who is the protagonist is running through the beach, the soundtrack
is just a beat that getting repeated and each beat gets faster and this makes
the audience believe that something bad is going to as it keeps getting faster.
Editing
Just before cage is taken by the French army, the editing is
slow, this is create a tense atmosphere, and this makes the audience feel that
something bad is going to happen. When the fighters get onto the beach, the
editing speeds up, this is because the scenes are edited together using lots of
different shots cut together, this is because a lot of movement is happening on
the in the fight scene, this can then build
tension on the audience. Cross-cut editing is also used on the beach, this is
when it goes from one action to another, this will build suspense on the
audience because there is more than one fighting action.
