I watched the whole movie of 'Top Gun', and this easily became my favourite movie of all time within the first 20 minutes. The opening sequence starts with a ground level camera on a battleship, it shows a lot flight aviators guiding fighter jets being launched of the battleship. The scene is all in silhouette and the lighting is as if it is shot in the morning or sun setting, the air is all red-orange-ish. The non-diegetic very fits the scene and creates an uplifting melancholy feeling, it sounds almost patriotic. The diegetic sound is of voice on the radio and sounds of fighter jets landing and taking off, especially the sound of engines as the jets fly past.
The music suddenly uplifts to a quicker tempo and very heroic, the camera then follows the back of a fighter jet and then cuts the cock-pit of inside of the 2 fighter jets on there routine flights.
