Apocalypse Now Analysis

From watching the beginning of the short clip from apocalypse now i have found that there are different types of sound used in the beginning of the clip parallel sound is used because the sound of the helicopters echoes on the situation that the clip is in because they are in a war zone and the sound of the helicopters reflects on the jobs that the characters have to do. As the camera moves closer to the helicopters it gets the louder the sound gets and as they move further away the sound gets quieter. Also dietetic sound is used when the helicopters are being shown because the sound comes directly from the helicopter itself.

The speech of the characters could be mistaken for background noise because it is much quieter then the helicopters.
Also a sound bridge is used as the music starts at the end of one scene where the helicopters are flying away and it is still playing in the next scene were they are half way through the journey.

Overall the sound effects are used to build tension and attract the audience to watch it and make them think to themselves 'what is going to happen next?' the sound reflects the atmosphere and surroundings as most of the sound reflects fighting and the sound of a war.
