Mrs Stewart, Miss Francis and Miss Beattie Film Music Recap… Last week we learnt about the purpose of Film Music and that it is used to help tell the story, create emotions and tension. Film Music also helps give the characters an identity. We also learnt that Film Music will sound different depending on the type or genre of film it was written for. So… How does Film Music sound different depending on the genre in order to tell the story?

What does the composer do to create the different sounds depending on the type of film? This week…

• Use the answers to reflect on your work and see if you got the answers correct. • Add in any extra details you may have missed. • Use the 3 steps to self-assess your work and write down a response to each of the 3 sentence starters. Task 1 Answers: • Clip 1: Music uses long notes played by strings and then low brass, percussion instruments used to create a driving rhythm. • Clip 2: Main jazz melody (tune) played by brass section, guitar riff, loud brass chords, use of drum kit. • Clip 3: Use of orchestra, guitar plays repeated notes to create tension.
