There is music used continuously throughout this show. Music is a very essential part of any film or show. Music can serve several purposes that are either important on the emotional side of the move to to enhance the storytelling.
An example of using sound in the show is there is one scene where the two main characters are having an argument. The scene uses completely diegetic sound to build up the atmosphere. It is set on a highway and it starts with only the clatter through walkie-talkies and the sounds of passing cars. It uses diegeic sounds to make it seem more drastic like a real life argument. As the tension and the argument volume increases the background sound increases but becomes more aggressive to match with the pace of the argument and the tension and action that is happening in this scene.
Another example of using sound is a scene when a boy is attacked, in a general store, due to race. The scene starts with diegetic sound with the echoed sound of the store's music already leaving an ominous aura. Then as the attackers start to approach there is a low smooth sound which slowly get's lower, warning you that something bad is going to happen and keeps getting worse until it actually happens, and then it is witched back to the diegetic sound. It slowly builds up warning the watcher until it happens, and then its suddenly over.
In conclusion music is very important as a backing soundtrack for something for it is what sets up the atmosphere for the watcher.

ReplyDeleteThe term 'soundtrack' covers both music and other types of sound. Remember that you can use examples of non-musical sound. If you do introduce the term 'music', you must offer a specific example in your opening paragraph, but you don't. Later, you write well on the 'ominous aura' in the shop, however.
You write convincingly about dialogue but need to be specific: who is arguing and what is it about?
