4. Restate the purpose of the video, intended audience and key messages that the director want to send to audience.
This documentary is intended for 15-35 year-old English-Speaking Australians, of all genders and educational backgrounds, who have an interest in music. The film engages the target audience, firstly by showcasing a popular Australian band, and also featuring interviews with youth from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, genders, and occupations.
The documentary investigates varying human experiences with music, illustrating the multiplicity of ways in which people interact with, and perceive music, both as a form of popular culture, and a verbal and non-verbal communication. The key messages of the film include the unifying power of music, and its

In addition, to better showcase their work, I decided to leave The Temper Trap’s music uncovered by my voiceovers. Finally, the original Sequence 3 was moved to the very beginning of the film, to create a linear storyline of my concert experience.
The finished video included the following sequences:
1) The introduction to ‘Sweet Disposition’ (the band’s most well-known song) plays as a montage of my travels to the concert venue is shown.
2) ‘Sweet Disposition’ fades out to play softly in the background, as a series of short interview clips depict audience members explaining what “music means to [them]” and “how it affects [their] lives”.
3) The screen fades to a darkened stage. The title sequence plays as the stage lights fade in.
4) The Temper Trap begins their concert: a 1-minute segment shows them performing ‘Thick as Thieves’.
5) The performance fades into a series of short interview clips. A semiotic analysis is conducted whereby interviewees identify and explain the emotions elicited by music, with reference to musical techniques. Audience members then describe the band’s
Music and Murder as a title for this documentary is very peculiar in that it hints that the two themes go together, many would see such a title as a paradox and that if rehabilitation was the only issue Music after Murder would be a more suitable title, however the emotional maturing through music is important in the documentary. Music recorded by the prisoners is played throughout the documentary, this attempts to give the viewer insight into the emotions felt by the musicians. The music is described by one of the prisons music teachers as “coming from the heart”, because we have not discovered the crimes that the prisoners have committed the music attempts to draw on feelings of sympathy from the viewer for the men. Much of the documentary is left to periods of the men’s music; these periods are an expression of emotion by which the notion of humanity and a second chance is put forward.
Music is magical: it soothes you when you are upset and cheers you up when you are down. To me, it is a communication with souls. I listen to different genres of music. When appreciating each form of music, with its unique rhythm and melody, I expect to differentiate each other by the feelings and emotions that it brings to me. However, I would definitely never call myself “a fan of jazz” until I witnessed Cécile McLorin Salvant’s performance last Friday at Mondavi Center. Through the interpretations and illustrations from Cécile’s performance, I realized that the cultural significance and individual identity are the building blocks of jazz music that create its unique musical features and support its development.
Music’s role on society has changed drastically through the course of its history as it has become ever so increasingly expansive. Many of the previous musical movements were only for the wealthy as entertainment
On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, I attended a musical concert. This was the first time I had ever been to a concert and did not play. The concert was not what I expected. I assumed I was going to a symphony that featured a soloist clarinet; however, upon arrival I quickly realized that my previous assumptions were false. My experience was sort of a rollercoaster. One minute I was down and almost asleep; next I was laughing; then I was up and intrigued.

This ethnography, written and told from Campbell’s point of view, shares her experiences as she sets out on her goal to study the musical culture among children in hopes to provide insight into how music plays a role in the lives of children of all different ages. This ethnography is split into three different sections, the first detailing Campbell’s different periods of observation. During her studies on the subject, Campbell spent time in different settings (such as a school bus, a cafeteria, a music class, and at a playground) in the hopes to observe their behavior and create detailed field notes in order to provide details into their interactions and their usage of music. In the second section, Campbell shares her conversations with several different children. Through these conversations, we get a taste of how music can be integrated within many different aspects of children’s lives. The third section focuses on what music means to children as well as how it can play a role or be integrated into diff...
If one were to look back into the world’s history, one would find that an important and consistent element is the world of music. Music has presented itself in various forms throughout its spread and through our identification of its magical realm, people have been fortunate enough to come across a means of relation. Whether it is blues and reggae or rap and pop rock, there is music out there for everyone. Music can serve as a stabilizer for some, a relaxant to others, and to many a form of inspiration.
A joyous celebration of the sanctity of life is generated through the element of Mood and atmosphere. The clip begins with a soft orchestration of piano and violin, creating a magical melody. The choice of melody creates the mood and atmosphere that influences the audience to feel joyous from the outset. The use of lighting adds dramatic effect to the mood and atmosphere of this scene; a warm yellow beam of light streams out of the barn, cutting through the dark and rainy morning, which

As an audience we are manipulated from the moment a film begins. In this essay I wish to explore how The Conversation’s use of sound design has directly controlled our perceptions and emotional responses as well as how it can change the meaning of the image. I would also like to discover how the soundtrack guides the audience’s attention with the use of diegetic and nondiegetic sounds.
In conclusion, I have demonstrated how Coppola exploits a wide array of sound and editing to create suspense, intensity, and anxiety in the sequence to affect the audience’s emotions, using diegetic ambient sound effects, non-diegetic music, voice over and four editing types. With this sequence, Coppola has shown the savagery of war and our complicity in this violence as an audience.
Western Music has developed in many ways since the middle ages through its form, sound, and message. Throughout these different periods in western music one thing has remained constant, the true essence of music, a way to communicate with someone on a much more divine level than be by rudimentary conversation. Though Ludwig Van Beethoven and Paul McCartney may seem completely opposite they have one in common through their music they changed the world’s perception of its self
The influence that music has throughout the world is immeasurable. Music evokes many feelings, surfaces old memories, and creates new ones all while satisfying a sense of human emotion. With the ability to help identify a culture, as well as educate countries about other cultures, music also provides for a sense of knowledge. Music can be a tool for many things: relaxation, stimulation and communication. But at the same time it can also be a tool for resistance: against parents, against police against power. Within the reign of imported culture, cross cultivation and the creation of the so-called global village lies the need to expand horizons to engulf more than just what you see everyday. It is important to note that the role of music in today’s world is a key tool in the process of globalization. However, this does not necessarily provide us with any reasons that would make us believe that music has a homogenizing affect on the world.
Without warning, the lights went dark. This was the moment I had been waiting for. My adrenaline went through the roof. The time had finally come that I would get to see and hear my first live concert.
We begin to walk fast towards to the stadium as we hear the loud booms of the bass and the screaming of the teenager girls, the sweat of the performers revealed the beginning of the concert. The crowd was full of energy, roaring at every drop the dj plays. House music is enjoyable to an individual, but when it is the sounds of Krewella playing the number one hit “Alive”, the mood changes instantly. The music rouses everyone to their full potential; it's as if the beat is in their souls. There is nothing that tops the emotions that I feel at a rave concert. The energy releases through the singer’s microphone as the raging girls of Krewella jump on stage, and wave their sweaty hair back and forth. The band’s faces are almost completely blocked, as all I can see are dancing figures in front of me as everyone is jumping up and down as adrenaline takes over. From the view on this guy’s shoulders I see...
