How är det bestämt vilka delar av en film som behöver bakgrundsmusik?

6

Jag tycker att integrationen av musik i en film spelar en av nyckelrollerna när det gäller att producera en bra film. Jag har också sett några filmer som den prisbelönta " En separering " som inte hade någon bakgrundsmusik alls! Så min fråga är hur är det bestämt vilka delar av en film som behöver bakgrundsmusikintegration? Finns det någon regel för det? Eller beror det bara på hur regissören (eller musikkompositören) känner till filmen?

Eftersom det inte finns några svåra och snabba regler för användningen av musik i filmframställning, riskerar denna fråga att bli konversation snarare än att ge ett kortfattat svar.

Det är sagt, jag är mitt i att slutföra poängen på min senaste korta animerade film - så jag delar med mig av mina resonemang för att bakgrundsmusik ingår i hoppet att det svarar på din fråga.

While working with my composer, I had several motives in mind for the musical cues he delivered.

Firstly, music (and sound design in general) are a vital part of the overall film language (with some exceptions - see The Artist, et al ;)), and I needed musical cues that highlighted the emotional impact of certain scenes. There are moments of high tension, comedy and sadness in the film, and my composer has enhanced these moments dramatically by reinforcing the rhythm of the edits and also providing a 'pointer' for the audience as to how they should be feeling at any given time. Music is a very powerful tool for controlling your audience's feelings.

Secondly, I instructed him to create a series of leitmotifs for the characters in the film. This is a technique used most famously by John Williams in the Star Wars saga, whereby each character has their own theme which reoccurs throughout the films, albeit in different styles, reflecting the characters' current state of mind/situation/interaction with others. Look at Vader's theme. Heavy brass through the original trilogy, and then played on a harp as he dies - beautiful and deeply moving. For my film, I have a main character who is the antagonist (villain) of the piece, and is at odds with the other characters. For this reason, I had his theme not only jar against the rest of the soundtrack, but it becomes strained and unravels as he becomes more dangerous during the film's progression.

I also asked my composer to create a theme for the landscape (there is mountain climbing involved), and we used this opportunity to include ethnic instruments that reinforce the geography and the nationality of the protagonists. So we ended up with an epic score that sounds like Max Steiner's King Kong soundtrack with elements of Tibetan woodwinds and thumb cymbals woven in!

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to music decisions, but I hope it gives you a good starting point in answer to your question.
