4. Use of sound, its purpose and effectiveness:
In the opening of the film you can hear the commenters shouting (analysing the fight) and the music reaching a cresendo which were both building the tension and the atmosphere and becomes suspenseful which allows the viewer to keep guessing whats going to happen next. The two boxing gloves (one american and the other russian) collide in a explosion which leads into the fight, you can hear the trainers and the fighters roaring which makes you feel part of the fight. The crowd start shouting and cheering which builds more tension of the fight, the sound of the punches shows the power of the fighter and in contrast to this the music (eye of the tiger) in the background relates to boxing which is important.
