On the other hand, in the second scene non-diegetic sound is used when the Bride tries to escape. The sound in the second scene contrasts to the music in the first scene as the music is more uplifting which represents how there is still hope for the Bride. There is also synchronous sound and non-diegetic sound as a drum beat can be heard which represents the Bride's heartbeat. The sound of the heartbeat is slow and calm which demonstrates how the Bride is less distressed than she was in the first scene. Additionally, in the second scene the lighting is brighter and more golden which symbolises hope as the Bride finds a possible way to escape. The Bride's facial expressions also change in the second scene as her face looks more determined as she presses her lips together as she concentrates on punching the top of the coffin. Make up is also used in the second scene as the Bride has dirt on her face to illustrate how she had been buried underground, and blood on her knuckles to show where she had been punching the coffin. Props are also used in the second scene as the Bride pulls a pocket knife out from her shoe. This object represents hope as the knife is the only way she will be able to escape. Lastly, the space inside the coffin appears more spacious than in the first scene as the camera is positioned at a higher angle to create the effect that there is more hope of getting out.

How is the Bride represented in the two sequences of Kill Bill Volume 2 through the use of sound and mise-en-scene?
In the first scene, diegetic sound is used through the Bride's heavy breathing, which connotes her fear and panic as she is buried alive. Non-diegetic sound is also used in the first scene as funeral music is played as the coffin is bolted up. Also in the first scene, synchronous sound is used as the sound of crickets represent the isolated location that the Bride has been taken to. The lighting in the first scene is dark which represents the Bride's fate. The Bride's facial expressions are fearful and distressed as she closes her eyes and cries to herself. The setting of the scene is in a wooden coffin in an isolated area. The small space in the coffin is shown as the camera is positioned from a low angle, showing how claustrophobic the coffin is. Furthermore, a torch is used in the first scene which symbolises how there is still hope for the Bride.
On the other hand, in the second scene non-diegetic sound is used when the Bride tries to escape. The sound in the second scene contrasts to the music in the first scene as the music is more uplifting which represents how there is still hope for the Bride. There is also synchronous sound and non-diegetic sound as a drum beat can be heard which represents the Bride's heartbeat. The sound of the heartbeat is slow and calm which demonstrates how the Bride is less distressed than she was in the first scene. Additionally, in the second scene the lighting is brighter and more golden which symbolises hope as the Bride finds a possible way to escape.
