Workshop 4: How does Music enhance the story?

Diegetic Sound - Sounds added to a scene e.g Music
Non - Diegetic Sound - Sounds that happen naturally to a scene e.g footsteps, wind

Chords + Major - Written in a major key, has a happy tone.
Minor - Written in a minor key, as a sad gloomy, morose tone.

Tempo - Speed
  ↱ Fast - Could walk quickly too, makes the music feel energetic, gives movement/pace.
  ↱ Moderate - mic of both
  ↱ Slow - Dragging feet pace, makes the music feel lethargic, boring, energy lacking, sleep.

Dynamics - Volume
  ↱ Loud (Forte) - gets viewer attention, enhances emotion/mood - makes happy, happier etc.
  ↱ Quiet (Piano) - Either background noise or used to make the viewer focus
  ↱ Changing - < - quiet to loud  - builds intensity
                         > - loud to quite - draws focus
Music Examples:
↱It made us feel giddy and happy. Feels like you are walking on a sunny day.
↱It feels as if someone is lost, trapped, sad.
↱↱

Music

Opening Scene
Chords - Minor - has a sad vibe, feels creepy, unsettling
Tempo - Moderate - feel on edge, walking pace gives energy.
Dynamics - Changing (quiet to loud) grabs our attention, gets louder, builds emotions and intensity.

Mouse Circus
Chords - Minor - if very upbeat and energetic but minor tone makes it feel off/uncomfortable.
Tempo - Fast - gives us upbeat, want to move energy, makes the circus feel fun and lively.
Dynamics - Loud - makes the viewer feel hyped up, energetic, invited to join in.
