I chose the “Ride of the Valkyries/Helicopter Attack from Apocalypse Now” scene. In the beginning of the clip, you can see a bunch of helicopters flying in the sky. It later cuts to a small little village in Vietnam(I believe) and there are children running away as a soldier warns them about whats about to happen. Then all of the helicopters make it to the village and they start blowing up and shooting their machine guns

Some of the diegetic sounds that are in the clip are obviously the sound of the wings of the helicopter, the footsteps of the people running, the sounds of the explosions. I dont think there are any nondiegetic sounds because everything you see in the clip has a specific sound to it.

Adding the music in the background just makes the scene seem more “epic” like something crazy is about to happen. Right when I first watched the clip and heard the music and saw the helicopters, I knew something was about to go down. I believe adding the music to the scene makes the viewers excited and eager to watch more.

  1. Maybe if the helicopters weren’t on the screen and made the noise, it would be a non-diegetic sound. The sounds of the music during possible wartime would seem to be “epic” but maybe add what that would add to the future of the film.
