Background Music

Original scene from Inception

Music effects the mood and pace of a scene, like in Inception the music used is very subtle. This makes the destruction feel almost subtle, as this is a dream world, blowing it to pieces isn't a big deal as it's not real. The pace is unaffected because of this, and finshes as steady as it started.



Example of first music change

However when we change the music, the feel of scene is completely different. Here I used Summer Overture, composed by Clint Mansell for the film, Requiem For A Dream. As it is slow paced and gentle at the beginning of the music, it creates suspense and lengths the build up. Therefore when the music becomes more exciting, so does the destruction and feels more racy without actually making the motion faster.



Example of second music change

This example is far more extreme, as the video's motion was sped up to match the pace of the music. However, the music starts gently just as the others do, but has far more impact when the music kicks in. The motion is faster, but there is more adrenaline in the scene because of the strong powerful music, which is This Is The End by Machine Head.
