Here i shall collect a few samples of different sounds we may like to implement into our final piece. Sound is hugely important in setting the mood of the film from using almost a constant amount of sound as oppose to dialogue or Using very little sound with sudden small sharp interludes.
In the film we see an illustration of how you can use music in the background for dramatic effect. Halfway through the film there is a soundtrack which plays it is the soundtrack of the song "when johnny comes marching home again". The tune itself sounds very infantile as if setting the tone of the whole movie, By making the tune infantile in nature it prevents people thinking that the film is taking itself too seriously.
Also there is an underlying poignancy in the lyrics of this particular song, for example the first two lines say:
"When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!"
This is interesting as its relates to the film. This "Johnny" character is obviously a hero of some sort which is very much like that of Bruce Willis' character and both are returning home after a valiant victory. Any American audience member may then pick up on this little reference however an English viewer may not; thus giving a good idea that he is American through and through.
