0:22 - 0:26 - We see soldiers talking; this is the on screen diegetic. We can also hear several helicopters at the same time, this is off screen. However, the talking starts before we see the people, this is a sound bridge and is used to link the two shots together.
0:27 - 1:00 - We see all the helicopters taking off. This is mostly onscreen diegetic, but there is also some off screen as we don’t see all the helicopters at one time. We then also hear and see a man playing them out, this was again on screen diegetic, until he goes off screen.
1:01 - 1:15 - The sound of the helicopters falls into the distance as the sound turns into a disorientated sound, much like a siren of some sort. This would also be called parallel sound, as it gives us a sense of danger as we see the helicopters go towards what we believe to be battle. It then slowly turns into a small bit of orchestral sound track; this links us to the next shot.
1:16 - 2:05 - The soundtrack continues with the sound of the helicopters just behind them. This is all also joined by the manipulated siren again at points to again give us a feeling of danger. This is helped when we see a concentrated yet worried looking soldier in the shot too. This is all again, parallel sound.
2:06 - 3:20 - The music and siren stops as we begin to get dialogue from the soldiers as they prepare for battle. We still again hear the helicopters; this is off screen as we only see the inside of the chopper. As we hear the sound it makes it more believable for the viewer.
3:21 - 4:37 - Another soundtrack comes on, this is parallel sound as the song is fairly fast and violent, and the images we are shown show the soldiers preparing for war. This shows us that things will soon get violent.
4:38 - 4:56 - Silence falls as we see a small and quiet town. We hear off screen diegetic with the sound of a dog and children playing and singing. They then become on screen at the back of the shot.
4:57 - 5:08 - A women runs on screen shouting, this is on screen diegetic. All play and singing stops and silence hits again. This is contrapuntal sound as the nice, happy town is now silent and dead.
5:09 - 5:36 - The music and helicopter sounds kick in again as we see them onscreen. We then have the opposing army getting ready for battle as we hear the sound of the helicopters. This is off screen, but the sound of the army preparing is on screen as we hear them running and their equipment rattling.
5:37 - 7:15 - The music goes to the back of the sounds we can hear now as we hear gun fire and explosions smash against the town. This is on screen diegetic. This music is quieter but is still parallel sound as the music is violent and fast and the mood is also shown in the fights on screen. We hear the soldiers talking over radio about tactics and the fight. We can also just hear the opposing army shouting and screaming in pain as they all get shot down and destroyed. This again, makes it more real for the viewer, as they can see and hear violence in more than one way.
7:16 - 8:02 - The music stops as the battle intensifies, this is so the viewer is completely focused on the battle and what the soldiers say, as this is now important to the next part of the film and there is also more dialogue.
8:03 - 9:00 - We can now hear the music again, this is played again to enhance the mood now that the viewer does not need to know what the soldiers say. We also still hear the helicopters and the sound of gunfire; this still helps make the viewer believe the experience more.
9:01 - 13:16 - The music stops again as the battle gets difficult for them, this is done to make the viewer focus on what is happening in the film now. It also makes them more aware of how bad the explosions and shots are. It gives them a more realistic view of the fight as the main troops land and take up their roles.
13:17 - 13:25 - We have off screen diegetic as we hear the captain’s radio transmission while looking at the plane which he is talking to. This tells us who he’s talking to and what to expect soon.
13:26 - 15:57 - We re-join the battle; our on screen sound is the dialogue we get between the soldiers. But because there is meant to be a war still occurring, we have a lot of off screen sound. This includes gun fire, explosions and helicopters.
15:58 - 17:10 - We still have all our off screen sounds of war, but now we can also hear a slight sound of an upbeat track. This is parallel sound as it is played with the men standing up as they know the battle is over and they are confidently getting back to their feet.
17:11 - 18:12 - The music takes a slight turn to a more intense feel as a couple of shots come close to the men, keeping the mood of the music the same as the one portrayed in the images. It then calms down again as they get to safety, again making the more a more confident and happy one, to keep with the mood of the shots.
