Kill Bill 2: Mise-en-scene and Sounds

The difference between the first and second scene:

Kill Bill 2, studied two scenes - (getting buried, then escaping the burial).

In the first scene the bride is getting buried alive in a coffin. It is clear from her facial gestures that she is absolutely terrified. In the first scene the sounds of the woman getting buried, breathing heavily and her scream are all diegetic sounds representing her fear. However, the music playing while she is getting buried is non-diegetic as it is slow calming music mirroring the effect of a funeral, symbolising that she is going to die to the audience. Additionally, in the first scene there is synchronous sounds as well as diegetic, such as Bill's brother banging the nails on the coffin, mud getting poured on the coffin and the noise of crickets (the insects). All these synchronous and diegetic  sounds symbolise the isolated area the coffin is in, making the bride more fearful and further connotes her loneliness and that death awaits as throughout these diegetic and synchronous sounds her facial expressions become more scarce and her breathing rapidly increases.

Whereas, in scene 2 it is clear there is a change in pace as the non-diegetic music increases in speed which symbolises the hope of life and escaping. Additionally, her face becomes fierce and hard, as well as the non-diegetic heart beat representing her nervousness about testing her escape plan as it is her only chance of survival. Additionally, the light in the coffin  is orangey, symbolising the brides hope, this contrasts with the dark and more spooky colour in scene 1 representing pure death. Also, the diegetic sound of the mud pouring on her through the coffin gives the audience the sense that she is close to surviving. At this stage the non-diegetic  music speed increases as she is close to escaping, until it stops and her hand appears above the mud. The bride escaped.
