This scene is from one of my favorite movies of all time, Inception. This scene is when Arthur is defending the warehouse by trying to keep the enemy outside at bay with his gun. He is then assisted my Eames and his grenade launcher, who takes the enemy out with one shot.
In this scene there are a few examples of different listening modes. One of those examples is, the casual sound of the loud squeaking that comes from Arthur sliding open the metal door. There is also an example of sound disassociation, when Eames makes the sound of him cocking a machine gun while his hands are off screen. Then he lifts up to reveal that he was actually cocking a grenade launcher.
This scene also has a couple of examples of different representations of space. The first example is of the distance of the enemy shooter in all of the shots. He is always really far away and looks really small because we don’t need to know what he looks like because who he is, is unimportant to the scene. Being far away also gives us the perception that we are in Arthur’s position, making the audience feel more immersed in the action. Another example of space in the scene is that none of the characters in the scene move than a few feet. This gives the scene more of a feeling of being trapped in an intense firefight with not a lot of options.
