Jaws
Jaws evidently shown in the clip uses music to stimulate audience emotion and tension. Jaws uses the repetition of its theme tune to infer the shark's appearance. It makes the viewer omniscient as they know what is about to happen and the characters don't, this adds additional fear. The sound used is both diegetic and non diegetic as well as ambient. However, it is best described as a contrapuntal sound as the music as when the sound is present in the film most of the time the music does not match the scene but in fact is a motif to signify the arrival of the shark.
James Bond
This is one of the most iconic pieces of film music in history. This is evidently the music for the theme tune of James Bond. The tune uses a surf rock style guitar riff and has been used to symbolise the bond franchise since 1962. What makes this piece so clever and effective is it sets the tone of the film. Its repetitive staccato notes presents a nervy but racy tone to the film, it fits the tone of the action it foreshadows. It is a parallel sound in this aspect. However, this is a non-diegetic sound as it is not part of action in the film, it is used for the opening credits.
