Analysis of Sound in 'Kill Bill Vol 1'

:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxbpAoWtqjA

An eerie music sound is played from the beginning, this makes the audience feel anxious so we no something is going to happen. Suddenly we hear a loud banging. A loud squeaking scratching sound starts and we see a nail go into the wood. 


The sounds of the nail banging into the wood and the squeaking, squealy, scratching sound is carried on. Now we see the man in the box and we hear her breathing. This allows us to be able to hear her panic. When the nail is been fully nailed into the wood the squeaking sound is prolonged. This gives the effect that there is something coming to the end; perhaps her life. 


When the last nail goes into the coffin the screen goes blank and you can hear nothing but the groans and cries and the panic in her breathing. This is very effective and creates suspense. During this time of silence the audience are able to have time to think and wonder if she is going to get out and also allows us to fully understand her emotions. 

During this time where the screen is blank you can hear piles of soil being chucked on the lid of the coffin. This is very effective because we can not see what is going on but judging what is going by the sounds. The silence and the black screen makes creates suspense because we are sub-consciously waiting for the next sound of soil falling. At this point you also hear the piles of soil getting quieter and quieter as the pile gets higher.
At some point in near the end of the scene and light is apparent the music starts again we hear her frantically trying to get out and slowly give up as silence falls.
