English; Music in film

In English, we are starting the workshop, and there will be more of them, and this workshop is based on Music in Coraline.

Example;
1. Piece one;
- peaceful fast pace, and happy vibe, cheerful. Full fo uplifting, full of energy
2. Piece two;
- Slow pace, sad sounding, a bit of anger, enjoyable, emotional, it sounds like someone losing someone dear to you and it sounds like the end of something bad, there is kinda a bit of happiness in it.
Music in film
Non-diagetic - not a natural sound e.g music
Diagetic - natural sounds e.g door slamming/footsteps

Tempo - means speed 'how fast?'
fast - creates upbeat
slow - melancholy, sadder, less energy

Chords
Major - happy uplifting
Minor - sad, sinister

Dynamics - Volume 'how loud'
Quiet - makes you focus
Louder -  energy/attention
Starts quiet/get louder - build intensity

Coraline soundtracks
Track 1; Miss Spink & Forcible
Tempo - slow and fast-paced
Chords - Minor
Dynamics - Quiet

Track 2; Carolines dispair
Tempo - Slow
Chords - Minor
Dynamics - Quiet gets louder

Track 3; The beginning
Tempo - Slow
Chords -  Minor
Dynamics - starts quietly then gets louder

Track 4; The Garden scene
Tempo - Starts slow then goes Fast
Chords - Minor
Dynamics - Starts quietly then gets louder

Opening scene; The beginning
Build intensity and sound like a lullaby, made-up words, sung by little kids.

Paragraph Example
In the opening scene, music is used effectively to create an atmosphere. For example, tempo, chords, and dynamics make it feel like a creepy lullaby. The tempo starts slow but then gets faster, which builds intensity. it is in the minor key which makes it feel it sad. This makes the audience think the film will be mysterious, scary, and creepy.
