The sound in the first ten seconds or so is mainly implemented with the sound of guns, sirens and racing cars along a freeway this is all non diegetic sound as it has been planted into the footage to make it more exiting and absorbing for the audience. What I really like about this scene though is that you go straight from dramatic loud and violent to quiet calm and laid back, as the scene immediately diverts to Hancock (Will Smith) lying on a street bench with the natural sound of your typical suburbia in the background i.e. distant cars and people talking. This is added with the faded sound of the news broadcast and the conversation the audience has been directed to follow between Hancock and the child in front of him.
