An example of a sound motif. If you listen, at around 30 seconds in to this clip from Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation, you will hear the Mission Impossible theme tune. (a motif = a dominant or recurring theme/sound).

The best way to experience the sound in this clip is by not looking at the action: just listen. Listen to how 'far away' some of the sounds seem and how 'close' they seem. There is always the dull thump of bullets and shells from afar, amongst the 'closer' hits and near misses.
