This scene was very interesting to take a part. The sound in it is very influential on the situation because the makers didn't show the audience what was going on. They had to explain it more through emotion of the characters and slightly vague dialog. The most interesting part of the scene is that the audience never actually sees what's inside the box.
This scene utilizes many different aspects of sound. I feel that the most common techniques is space and time. The whole scene is made with an added sense of urgency. This is portrayed by the tempo of the simple music being played in the background. But it is also achieved by combining a lot of different sounds to represent a feeling of chaos in the situation. I think a combination of the wind, helicopter, music, and the yelling of dialog really adds this sense of urgency to the scene. I also believe space is used heavily in the scene to get information across. For instance, Detective Mills cannot hear Detective Somset when he opens the box and starts to panic. Even as he runs for many yards, only a the audience can hear a slight faintness of his voice yellowing to Mills to put his gun down. Space is also utilized with the sound of the helicopter coming closer and then retreating back. It creates an interesting echo to the scene adding to the open and interesting environment.
