" Explain how sound music is used to create a particular genre/mood in the clip. Note the interest between the first minute and rest of the clip"

In the initial minute of the clip a solum and serious tone is set, this is achieved by the use of no music but the distant hum of the engine combined with the silence of the soldiers, thus conveying there emotions and mindset. These subtle sounds of coughing and vomiting also reinforce this. At the point the prominent whistle sound effect is introduced this silence and calm falls into disruption and confusion. The persistent use of bullets and explosions from there on after reinforce this as the distinct and loud metallic sounds of the bullets hitting helmets and the surroundings enforce a sense of shock on the audience.

The Archers
Foley sound effects are used to introduce characters and what the characters are doing. For example the sound of a door opening signifies the entry of a new person, whilst the sound of cups clinking and tea being drank shows the audience what the characters are partaking in. The exterior scene also use soundscapes to reinforce the setting, for example the sounds of machinery combined with wind and animal noises portray the farm location. Furthermore, the distinct theme tune signifies the start and end of the whole piece to the audience.
