Bad Boys 2 Vs. 21 Jump Street

In the movie, Bad Boys 2, the first scene is the swamp shootout scene where all the cops raid the enemy territory. The music is low and underscoring and you can hear the actors talk to each other. The movie includes both underscoring and source music, different scenes have different affects. When the shootout begins the background music becomes diegetic sound and it functions as a background filler. In the movie, 21 Jump Street the scene where they have to escape the shootout the music is diegetic sound. The background music created a more convincing atmosphere of time and place; in the scene there is confetti, they have on suits, and the music that is being played has a mid-soft tempo. But the scene doesn’t match the music or the clothes. The source music that is being played sets a atmosphere for the confetti and suits. Both movies had scenes where the sound could be diegetic or non-diegetic. For the most part, all of the scenes in the movie Bad Boys 2 moods matched the tempo and music. 21 Jump Street on the other hand some moods that didn’t match the tempo. In both movies, I heard instruments such as the drums, trumpet, flute, and violin.

The background music and everything that’s going on is diegetic. The music represents Aesthetic #1\2 because the helicopters, dark skies, and gunshot sounds represents the atmosphere of time and place. The music takeover the scene and directs the dramatic action. The melody is disjunct and the space between notes is greater. It’s difficult to sing back to yourself because it has a fast tempo with thin lines. Dynamics are loud but has a consonant harmony. As one actor fires a gun all you hear is the shot, then you hear it travel, then finally you hear/see it hit
