Film technique--Sound 6 (about Music 5)

(D) contribute to the formation of the rhythm of the screen, and strengthen the structure of the film

The music for the film with a strong sense of rhythm, which itself has a different rhythm, rhythm screen in the film and television works with the music, there are also different rhythms, such as the length of the screen, the lens sliding pan speed and so on. A combination of both if used properly, contribute to the formation of the rhythm of the screen, to strengthen the structure of the film. German film "Run Lola Run" almost throughout with simple melodies, strong dynamic music and effects exaggerated sound, interspersed with occasional lyrical and romantic songs and music static field. This combination of static and dynamic rhythm caused by a strong appeal brought the audience is simply a visual bombing; contrast, Bill Auguste movie "good wishes" the last scene, through a relatively quiet athletic screen structure, lyrical rhythm started slowly, I had nearly reached the saturation point of the emotional, received the last shot of the entire film - a vision of the fixed-length lens, the entire film is the emotional culminated deeply emotional rhythm impress the hearts of the audience.

At the same time, it is sometimes possible to use music to change the rhythm of the screen. If the screen is formed on the clip for a longer period of strong rhythm, viewers accept this longer strong, fast content psychologically prone to fatigue when using soothing smooth music, the strong Quick screen rhythm leveled. For example, the feature film "American Art History is to introduce the history of the development of the United States of America the two hundred years of photography, painting, music, architecture, film and other art, the entire film is the length of time of only 20 minutes, since the content is very rich, and many paragraphs of the screen can only be flashed in a very short period of time, the screen outside the fast-paced, but the music is not all fast, sometimes very broad stretch of slow-paced music, change the screen caused by rapid, nervous, dizzying state of psychological feelings of the audience with Zhang relaxation, in a relaxed frame of mind to accept the screen provides a wealth of information.

In short, the rhythm of the music to be subordinated to the rhythm of the screen, audio-visual effects services for the entire film, in addition to some music directly involved in the specific circumstances to become the upper and lower lens or skip conversion lens adhesive, giving impetus to the story development, and to enhance the role of the film structure. For example, in the titles of "Animal World", a period of strong rhythm, tonality changing music group then. Habits of a group of tigers, lions, dolphins, penguins and other animals, the body, the characteristics of the lens of the screen accompanied by a fast-paced beat quickly convert, it is smooth and natural, in order to manifest the music group then screen, and strengthen the function of the film structure.
