Analysing Sound

The film scene i am going to analyse is from the film Dragons Forever, the fight scene between Jackie Chan and Benny Urquidez. The scene begins with a minor chord sound which gives the indication that danger is about to occur as the so called villains circle Jackie Chan. Also the sound used could be used in the scene to build suspense and builds tension for the audience. Next Jackie Chan and Benny circle each other building more suspense by holding the chord and letting it ring throughout this part of the scene. The fight begins at a fast pace and with the pace of the fight, movements of both of their hands create over exaggerated sounds, but are used to emphasise the manner and build up more suspense for the scene. Once the fight is underway Jackie Chan gets a whack in the face and begins to bleed. At this moment a sound that maybe used to give the sound of a heart beat is heard. I believe it has been put in to emphasise the importance of the fight for Jackie Chan i think the heartbeat sound is for Jackie. In the scene whilst the two are fighting props or so called scenery come into play when Jackie is put on the boiler and then on the floor, when the two props are brought into use in the scene the noises are not realistic as they are overexaggerated. The scene carrys on with overexaggerated sounds of the fighters movements. The sounds give the scene more life and could build up tension or even ruin the scene, but in this case i believe it was a bit of both as the some sounds are over exaggerated are these sounds therefore take the realism out of the piece.
