media- sound analysis


In this sound extract, a varied type of music is used. To begin with, orchestral music is played. Steadily the pace quickens and a drumbeat is added. This drumbeat adds to the tension of this musical piece. The orchestral violins maintain a steady rhythm throughout the piece. This suggests that the film that the sound extract is taken from, has dramatic events that are likely to occur. This sound sequence suggests a classical and dramatic event is taking place, for example somebody being followed. I get the image or a young girl being followed down a dark alley and I feel this way because the music demonstrates the pace and volume of a chase.

There is also a likeness to this musical sequence to the Harry Potter theme tune. The similarities are between the orchestral instruments and the classical sounds that fill my head. There are many aspects of this musical sequence, for example the similarity to the Harry Potter theme tune, the chase scene I imagine and many more. This shows that without an image to match the sound sequence, an analysis is hard to gage.
