In the movie “Notorious”, the usage of background music and different ways of filming enhance the mood of the film. The usage of background music bolsters moods in the film by conveying emotions through the music. For example, when Mr. Sebastian went to the vault and found out that one of the bottles which contain uranium is broken, the music soon becomes intense and horrifying. This music conveys a scary mood which foreshadows that Alice might be in danger in future since Mr. Sebastain knows she is a spy. Additionally, the usage of different kinds of shots also amplifies the mood of the film. For instance, in the end of the movie, when Mr. Sebastian is going back to his house, the filmmaker recorded this scene from a distance. By looking
He is able to use these parts to manipulate the audience’s emotions. The music playing from the car is an on-screen sound. As the man gets attacked, the volume increases. The sound helps intensify the scene that has been created by the film’s visual elements. The audience then subconsciously forms ideas, opinions, and feelings about what they are seeing. The viewers develop scared feelings as the scene intensifies to the happy upbeat tune. The increasing volume of the cheery song reflects the violence and the sinisterness of the scene. The song stops with the slamming of the car’s driver-side door as the man is abducted. There is a moment of silence and then a new song abruptly entered the silent scene. The music is non-diegetic and is an offscreen sound. The song is screechy, high pitched, and jagged sounding at first, continuing the anxious and scared mood. The song shifts into a sort of soulful hymn. The tone shifts along with the song. The audience begins to feel relieved and relaxes to the peaceful song.
The music throughout the film plays a big role in the way it is perceived and the overall tone and message. The directors and producers used background noise and music very wisely in order to convey the emotions of a scene. In the movie, it reaches a certain point where it almost looks as though things are looking up for education. It is when the documentary starts describing the “new acting chancellor of the district of columbia schools”, during this scene the makers want you to really pay attention and become almost shocked by this turn of events. However, they do not only grab your attention by the words and clips shown, but also by the loud, upbeat music that is suddenly played while she is being announced. Also, later in the movie they use this same
The music helped in elaborating this great film. As I mentioned in class different instruments helped create different moods for different scenes in the movie. We heard the cello and the violin to create sadness and remorse. The flute created eeriness and the trumpet created awareness. I thought these were instruments and tools that help make this film extraordinary.
The director uses multiple camera shots to highlight the love during troublesome times and the emotions that are present. A wide shot is used when the audience watches Guido marching in front of the soldier shortly before his death. Guido does this as he is aware that his son is watching and still wants the experience of the camp to be a fun game and does not want Giosue to be afraid of what is happening. Close up shots are commonly used throughout the film to give more detail into the emotions that the characters are feeling. A
Along with background music, sound effects play more of a role on the way we feel than many moviegoers think, and "although the function of sound effects is primarily atmospheric, they can also be precise sources of meaning in film" (Giannetti, 225). When the
But in the movie because of the background music, it will be easy to bring the audience in. What I am here saying is that by following the background music, audiences would easily get themselves into the story and thoroughly understand the ups and downs of the plot as the background will change as the plot change. The background music can be also shown that the disposition of the character, that could help audiences get to know more about the character and to make the audiences understand the situation of the character. The purpose of the background music was to communicate the theme, create the character image, promote the development of the plot, connect video and images, describe the time and culture background and enhance the sense of the audience. The background music is one of the most important tools of foil film effect. In the movie The Joy Luck Club, they have to change the background music during different place(China/America) and different time period(When mothers were young and when they get
In addition to camera movements, he uses camera distances and framing to create images that make the audience feel cheerful. When he frames a shot, if it takes place outside, there is ample amount of bountiful nature within the frame. The most prominent example of this is toward the end of the film when the narrator is describing the after effects of the massive storm. It is a medium close up but the narrator is only in a small portion of the frame, the rest if a
The directors chosen camera technique, a simple two composition that progresses the scene a steady pace, forces the audience to feel a part of the awkward exchange; obviously, a quality of film that could not be as profoundly achieved through the narrative in the novel.
The music played in the background of the film is generally very peaceful. The sounds are diegetic,
The music is appropriated to the visual images. When George is thinking about his daughter is going to leave him, it has background music of ¡§My Girl¡¨, and the lyric fits his feeling. The film uses narration, George tells what is going to be happened and defines the places. It is effective because the story is very realistic and the language is funny.
In the movie “A Christmas Carol” the background music and place told a lot about the scene. When Marley's ghost came the lighting was dim, Scrooge was sitting by an old fireplace eating his supper when the wind starts howling and the music has that scary vibe. It shows a mood to its audience and also shows what it's supposed to. Another part where it showed a good strong mood was when the ghost of christmas future took Scrooge to his own grave, the dimmer lighting and snowy dark night gave a creepy vibe and when Scrooge saw his name in the tomb and fell down in the snow and a sadder aura was felt by the audience more of a remorseful one was felt when he begged it know how he could save himself. This is how the mood help the story
The film that made an impression on me because of its techniques was The Great Gatsby. The director, Baz Luhrmann presents certain themes and ideas for the viewers. To do this, Baz Luhrmann proficiently uses a range of techniques to demonstrate these ideas. The Great Gatsby is about a man who orders his life around one desire: to be reunited with Daisy, the love he lost five years earlier. Gatsby's quest leads him from poverty to wealth, into the arms of his beloved, and eventually to death. The techniques I write about that illustrate the themes of the film are; camera shots, setting, lighting and symbolism. The scenes I will be concentrating on are the final scenes which feature the Great Gatsby.
generate moods, and have great psychological affect. This is just as true for the very first series of shots for the film, and perhaps more important since these first shots will give the audience the initial feeling of the film, and set a tone for the picture. The first shot is highly dramatic in its lighting method, and the audience is drawn in immediately to one single detail. A man begins revealing the details of a tragic incident that befell his daughter. We don’t see who he is talking to. There is a spotlight directly above the man, and this is pretty much
Music has played a major role through out the entire film. It is used as a
The background music as well as the different visuals help describe the different moods throughout the film. In the first scene of the film the sound of the background music is very slow and depressing as the character with asperger’s syndrome explains how he feel about living in a world and being treated like an outcast. Also the character is sitting by himself throughout the entire scene with a very sorrowful look on his face. By analyzing these few details in the first scene will have most viewers really sympathetic to the character, because of how sadden he look throughout each clip.
