Music Analysis Of 'Harry Potter Deathly Hallows'

The same applies to a dramatic scene where the music may be deep and frantic to convey to the audience the feeling of anticipation. A scene i would like to focus on is the scene in which Garry and his father have a final ‘showdown’, if you will, at the front of the house. The scene consists of the father imposing himself on Garry and proceeding to continually beat him down time after time only for Garry to rise up and face his father on each occasion. This scene evoked a feeling of pride and admiration from the audience as to Garry’s courage and determination to convey the message to his father that he is ready to stand on his own two feet and defy him. This is a very powerful scene within the movie which initiated powerful emotions within the audience. All of this was accomplished with the notable absence of music of any form. The omission of music in this scene created an atmosphere in which the dramatic affect was amplified due to the silence.

Without a doubt, the film’s soundtrack leaves viewers singing well after the movie has ended, exactly as good music should. From Belle, to Gaston, to everybody’s favorite, Be Our Guest, the soundtrack provokes the appropriate emotions for the tone of each scene. In the most notable song, Beauty and the Beast, Ariana Grande and John Legend share a passionate duet filled with smooth harmonies and skillful techniques, fully embracing a heartfelt scene shared by the two main characters, Belle and the Prince. This closing song leaves the audience with a warm feeling of satisfaction as the credits begin to roll.

2d. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, John Williams creates the mood of leitmotif by consistently playing the same music themes based on the scene. Leitmotif is defined by the theme in the music that is associated with certain scenes, moods, or people. For an example, whenever the movie tries to create a feeling of sadness felt by Harry’s loneliness after having lost his parents, there is sad music playing in the background that plays softly. By consistently having this music played whenever Harry is feeling down, we begin to associate the connection between the two. Another specific scene where the same sad theme is played in the background, is when Harry looks into the mirror where he sees his parents. John Williams does this for all sorts of moods whether it be happiness, sadness, or excitement as well as having music for specific characters and settings.

Godspell is a musical that explains various parables from the Gospel of Matthew (and a few from the Gospel of Luke.) The production of Godspell put on at Carthage took a modern approach to the Broadway classic. Instead of philosophers debating religion during the opening, it was college students venting on the internet. Additionally, the actors chose not to don clown makeup after choosing to follow Jesus, but instead, each wore a pin to demonstrate their allegiance. The music is set to modern beats but the lyrics are derived from popular hymns.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the last of the Harry Potter series, where Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger are on a mission to demolish Voldemort, once and for all, by destroying every piece of his soul that lie in Horcruxes that are spread out among the Wizarding World. To readers and watchers that find harmony in the Harry Potter series, this is for you. Deathly Hallows part 2, which came out in the summer of 2011, was adapted from the book of the same title by J.K. Rowling and tastefully directed by David Yates (IMDb). The movie was mindfully scored to fit its scenes, elegantly directed to achieve an artistic aesthetic, and portrays the development and dynamics of the characters.

A few pieces gave me emotional responses .The theme from “Jaws” made me tense up a little, the music reminded me of the movie and made very conscious of my surroundings. I didn’t want anything to happen to me. As I mentioned earlier I enjoy Star Wars and Harry Potter, so when they played the music I was a little excited about these music pieces being played. The highlight musical piece would have to be the Suite from “Star Wars”. All of the pieces were great but,

The right sound had to influence the way each scene was taken. If there was cheerful and lighthearted music, then you would think there was a prime, pleasant scene like when everyone is having a good time. On the other hand, if the music was depressing and dramatic, then you would think that something bad is going to or is happening. I think that the music did an excellent job at determining the mood of the scenes.

The film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone would fall into Chapter 29 of Roger Hickman’s Reel Music: Exploring 100 Years of Film Music (Second Edition). This is because the chapter is titled, “Blockbusters Fantasy and Adventures” and the film is set in a fantasy world where magic exists and the main character, Harry Potter goes through many adventures. The genre of the film is fantasy and adventure and, according to imdb.com, the film has won multiple awards including, a Saturn Award, a BMI Film & TV Awards, Young Artist Awards, and many many more (imdb.com). Additionally, J. K. Rowling was the mastermind author behind the entire Harry Potter series and there are no other versions of this film as of now.

Adventure, mystery, and magic all go hand-in-hand when it comes to the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. The books were adapted into films starting in 2001. The first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was directed by Chris Columbus. The story of Harry Potter is magical as is however; the movie needed a little extra magic. This extra magic needed to be added through music. Director Chris Columbus chose John Williams to compose the music for a promotional reel (John Williams). After Columbus heard the song for the promotional reel he knew they had to have Williams compose the entire movie (John Williams). Williams created an entire score for the movie and called it “The Harry Potter Suite.” “The Harry Potter Suite” has

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

This clearly explains the significance of music and the role that has in motion pictures. Music has to match the emotions that the actors are showing and the environment they are in. If fail to do so, the movie could be a dreadful thing to watch.

Besides the cinematography, I approve of the music chosen to portray the characters’ emotions in the

Something that is very prominent throughout the entire movie is the use of supporting non-diegetic sound. A scene that sticks out in this category is when Katniss is performing for the important capitol officials in order to receive her score. It begins in a very suspenseful and subtle manner with light music, which is an accurate representation of how

Horror films are known for their ability to scare audiences, to get the audience’s hearts racing, their blood rushing. A good horror film will cause viewers to be on the edge of their seats and having their perception of reality distorted as they attempt to understand the unraveling plot of the horror film. The tone of the film aides in the amount of suspense that a horror film produces, since a much darker film will create a more suspenseful atmosphere than one that is more focused on campy monster makeup. But the tone of a film is determined by the sound of the film, or in other words, the score. Sound or music in a horror film, or the lack thereof, make the intense scenes and without the addition

Choosing the soundtrack for a movie is another difficult task that a director has to do because they have to find a perfect song or an instrumental track that will fit or compliment the scene that they are editing. The soundtrack of a movie is also a guaranteed way of effecting the emotions of the audience members. As a result, directors spend a great deal of time in choosing the right soundtrack for the movie. They want to make sure that they target the correct emotions for each scene. The sequence of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” featured many different sounds; such as, speech, music and sound effects.
