This scene from Kill Bill shows a woman trapped inside a coffin after being 'buried alive'. The soundtrack behind the scene builds tension as she attempts to escape. Starting slow and dramatic when she realises she is trapped then building up as she begins to untie herself and start to escape. New elements get added and layered up in the soundtrack such as the addition of a trumpet melody, a marching solider style drum beat and a Mexican influenced guitar melody. The volume slowly gains as the scene progresses before coming to a loud 'climax' as she finally punches her way through the wooded container and claws her way out of the ground.
This scene works extremely well without any use of dialogue. Sound effects are used but are not as clear as the main soundtrack. This shows the power and significance of sound and music in films.
