                           Clip analysis using terminology

In the beginning of the clip we hear a piano playing which gives it a calm start. As the horses get close the pitch and the frequency increases which creates tension and gives us a slight idea of whats gonna happen next . Also as the pitch and frequency increase we hear horse shoes and the volume of that also increases as they get closer which builds tension even more .after all that the drums kick in with a loud bong but slowly which kinda makes us think something is gonna happen which makes us pay attention even ,its kinda used similar to a count down.
  as the horses carry on a lot of diegtic sound starts to come in such as the sound of the guns ,breathing of the actor(speech\dialogue),the crow  ,neighing of the horses ,the opening of the door and the smashing of the glass which mixes with the non-diegetic sound such as the piano,violin, base and drums.from the heavy breathing we can immediately that someone is participating in high intense which causes heavy breathing which in this case would be running ,after we hear the clicking of the guns and silence of the actors which adds another piece to the puzzle and tells us they are calm and ready to kill.Couple seconds after we hear opening of the the door and smashing of the glass which tells that the actors were in the middle off a hot pursuit.
