As we were listening to Mr Taylor's songs we listed our feelings towards each songs.
Song One - Happy, Energetic, and Elatated. - Lots of Major Chords
Song two - Mysterious, In wonder, adventurous. - Lots of minor chords
Tempo - How fast is the song is played. The speed for the beat.
Major chords - Full stroke of the guitar - Upbeat, louder, full strings, contains 1st, 3rd, 5th. Happy,
Minor chords - One string is not used - low beat, quieter, mysterious, suspenseful, lesser.
Dynamic - Variation between notes. Volume.
Diegetic - Music in the environment - naturally occuring sounds.
Non - Diegetic - Soundtrack + special effect.
- Rue's death -
Define the three - Minor. Tempo = slow. Dynamics - building towards the end.
In Rue's death, music was used substansually to support the theme of "Hope and Rebellion". This is demonstrated when Rue dies through minor chords which makes the viewer feel sad. The tempo of the sound track during this scene is slow revealing the emotion and grief which Katniss is feeling. The Dynamic of the music in this scenestarts quietly and builds as the scene progresses. The director did this to feel connected to Katnis in an emotionally charged moment, where Katniss loses hope. This work well with the following scene where district 11 riots.
