    As a filmmaker... I really appreciated this video. I should add that there are times when music is overused... silence and natural sounds are also a good mix.

    • @mitchscott1556

      Absolutely. I'm currently in school for sound design, and I think silence can be one of the best instruments, besides natural/ambient sounds, which are also killer, like you mentioned.

      Agreed. I've seen a few films and tv series where neverending background music was getting on my nerves.
      Also, I found this video because I was looking for something about where a film uses a song, but that abruptly ends when it goes from one scene to the next.
      It can work funny in a comedy, but in other films I find it a weak mechanism to keep the viewer's attention (because the script/acting just isn't compelling enough).
      You know, that thing that sounds as if someone suddenly pulled the plug out of the stereo. Hate it.

    Color literally works the same way. All Disney villains have a ominous neon shade of green on at least one of their scenes denoting that they are the evil person in the movie. If you replaced green (evil, envy, greed, jealousy) or purple (mystery, intrigue, confusion) with say a light shade of sky blue, that would be like adding the "benny hill theme" to the final scene in fight club.

  • @ScorpioHR
    @ScorpioHR Před 5 lety +53

    Great video, made me wonder if we were "programmed" to perceive specific music as the carrier of the specific emotion, or would someone who never saw any other movie would react and have same emotion as those that are used to this "style".
    Maybe if we had a test group that was listening to horror movies music and associated it with joyful scenes and vice versa would react to these clips completely different...

    • @TheBlkKat
      @TheBlkKat Před 3 lety +10

      I'm sure how we perceive music is partly influenced by how we've seen it typically used but a lot has to do with the composition and that is largely explained with music theory. A lot of horror movies use dissonance which is the combination of notes that don't produce harmony and create that tension we normally hear; usually, our brains don't like it. The dissonance comes from how the notes' frequencies interact with each other. Other genres also use dissonance to convey tension, conflict, foreshadow something ominous or even give a false sense of something bad by leading with dissonance and then switching to consonance to create that musical resolve. So, that's what I can remember off the top of my head from my music classes and probably an overly simplified explanation.

    • @evencutter9703
      @evencutter9703 Před 2 lety +5

      Hey, good question!
      As @Kyl Lite explained, there is a large part on music theory about harmony and so on.
      Biological/physically you should know, that your brain is processing musical input different then normal sounds or voices. And there the emotions get "created".
      But some people (not many, but more than you think - unfortunately I don't have any numbers) have a problem with there neural connections right in this part of the brain.
      So in others case they can't here music at all, they here just swoosh or random noises.
      In my case, I litteraly hear the music, but can't "feel" it as "normal" people do. It's just sounds produced by instruments or people talking strange (I mean singing :D ).
      So with this explanation first:
      I understand this brilliant video of @Jack Pierce but can't related it to me, because I'm hereing no difference between the scenes.
      For example I thought the guy was running away from something bad in the first take. And in the second too :D
      The same with the chest... wasn't there something good in it in both clips? :)
      And the last answer to your example with the horror movies: Yeah, most of them are quit borring to me. You could try watching a horror movie without any music, that would be like what I'm feeling there.
      Greetings, and if there are some more questions no one has to be too shy to ask :)
      (Sorry for some mistakes in the englisch language)

      your dead on, two things that influence how we perceive a scene is musical expectation and learned associations.
