Sound Analysis - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The sound can tell you a lot about the location and the environment as noises in the background represent a particular place. For example, when listening to just the piece of music from the clip, they have carefully chosen a piece of music in which sounds like they are in the desert. The bird noises also show the environment as the type of bird noises in which we hear. The scraping of the sand sound also shows the audience that the scene is set in a desert as this is where you would most likely expect to hear the sound of sand. The whistling of the wind also helps to set the scene. 
When watching the clip, the fact that one man was on the floor and high angle shots were used on him whilst the other two characters are standing up high which show's their power - a lot more than the other man. This clip's sound, link's to masculinity as there are harsh noises and the audience would automatically represent masculinity.  
Another important aspect of the sound is that both cowboys have the same piece of music used for them but they are played with different instruments and different pitch and tone which would show the difference between the two characters.
