What is happening Visually?
We are seeing a young woman in a mysterious room with different kinds of tombs, she is fighting with a large machine that seems to be trying to hurt or kill her. We can see they are both trying very hard to defeat eachother, so that Lara can't reach the Tomb Stone she is after.
The sound effects in this sequence add tension and emphasise what is going on in the scene, as the sound also helps tell us what is going on and is full of action. The power of the music manipulates the audiences reactions and emotions, the sounds make you jump.How would you describe the sound?The music is loud, quick and action packed, matching the visual image at the time. The background music and sounds add drama to the sequence. This sequence also shows us examples of parallel sound as the sound we hear compliments and follows what we are seeing on the screen.
There are examples of both diagetic and non-diagetic sounds, as there is background music which the characters cannot hear which is non-diagetic. There is also lots of different kinds of crashing, banging and falling sounds which the characters can hear which is an example of diagetic sound.
Ambient sound is also used in the sequence as you can hear footsteps which create realism.
The music adds action and anxiety to the narrative as they are very fast and loud sounds which grab your attention and add to the story.What is the overall effect?The sounds and music reflect what is being shown on the screen very well. When the music is combined with the visuals of Lara and the machine chasing after eachother, and moving around quickly, it makes us feel on edge and scared for what is about to happen next.
