The fast pace music throughout the clip adds to the narrative by creating tension and suspense. As the clip progresses the sound of trumpets are added to the shot. The first sound of trumpets sound we hear in the clip is when Eve looks over to her right to see that the train is going to travel into a tunnel, this is effective as we realise that the character Eve has a limited amount of time to take the shot, thus tension and suspense is created. As the climax of the fight scene progresses the sound of the violins increase in a high pitched minor key, this musical gesture is a classic way (especially in a fight scene) of pushing the audience to the edge of their seat, the audience is now craving the outcome. This non-diegetic mood music has a pace that is elevated as it progresses, as it is an action scene this could be to mirror the sound of and elevated heart rate that would also increase as the suspense and tension in the scene rises.
When we see Bond get shot all music is silenced, all the sound that remains is a faint echo of the gun shot, the sound of the wind against Bonds falling body and then the eventual splash of his body hitting the water, this could be adding to the narrative by showing a moment of reflection on the event that just took place. These diegetic sounds within the silence are hyper-realistic, this has been done to create more feeling within the audience; to emotionally invest them in the consequences.
