Sound Analysis

Sound Analysis

When we researched sound, we focused on the music made within the period, and how modern composers are influenced by the period.  We found that the typical instruments used within the music were softly played, and created a romantic atmosphere.  The instruments included piano, strings (e.g. violins), flutes, and other soft sounding instruments which are often used within this themed music.

Pride and Prejudice

We were influenced by this piece of music in particular.  We liked the way it started quietly, and then gradually built, and then decreased again.  We felt this went well with the structure of our film.  When we create our music, we will want to re-create the emotions created from this piece of music.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

We felt that this piece of music did not have the build in rhythm like the previous piece of music.  However, it is greatly influence by a piece of music from the time, and shows the influence of the period on the composer (Craig Armstrong and A.R. Rahman).  It also shows the typical instruments used within period drama music.
