Timeline - Terminator 2

Time
Sounds
0-15 Sec
Music signalling the beginning of a movie. Not important.
16-34 sec
A low, quiet, continuous tone from an instrument playing. Sounds dark and mysterious
but is followed up with louder sounds playing above the tone.  It plays four times and the pitch of the sound gets higher each time.
34-45 sec
The music continues to plays with the addition of a giggling girl in the background. In the last few seconds a ‘swishing’ noise is heard as it goes to a new scene.
46-72 sec
Nothing can be heard except for the sound of the wind and an empty swing being pushed by the breeze. Suspense is built up well here as there is no music played at all signifying something has happened or is about to.
73-87 sec
The wind is still the only thing that can be heard in the background but there is the addition of a character talking (narrating) to the audience.
88-99 sec
Something breaking is the first thing you hear on 88 seconds. Other sounds relating to the scene are being heard; sounds of flashes or lasers are heard.
100-120 sec
There’s a re-introduction to clear background music on 100 seconds and the sound of rocks being crumpled on. The music is a continuous loud sound similar to the sound played at the beginning of the music but it is a much lower pitch and plays more than four times. Sounds of flashes/lasers are still in the scene and near the end a crash sound, which could have been made by hitting cymbals together, are accompanying a dying man’s scream.
