This is the opening scene of Finding Nemo, the sound in this scene is used very effectively. Right from the beginning a calming melody is used, which relaxes the audience and reassures them that things are okay. After the first bit of dialogue there is an establishing shot of the 'neighbourhood' where you can hear the little fish laughing and playing around. The non diegetic calming music continues over the top of all the diegetic sounds of the sea, children playing and dialogue. The calming music stops quickly, when the predator fish appears in the distance. Diegetic sound of the bigger fish is used, with the sounds of growling and snarling. This makes the audience feel a little nervous for the two clown fish; Marlon and Coral, who they identify with.
At the end of the opening scene louder music is used, as lots of action is going on as the bigger fish attacks the parents of Nemo. It all comes to a quick halt, when Marlon, Nemo's dad hits a rock and falls unconscious. Silence is added to a black screen which indicates Marlon is hurt.
