Your film musical review: A1: Kowledge & understading, concepts,in music termology.

Musical Clichés HAPPY Instruments: brass, woodwind, strings, percussion Pitch: high Timbre: bright timbre Texture: moderate, gradually getting thicker Melodic ideas: rising melody in step melody based on the chord triad Mode/Tonality: major key Tempo: quick or stately Rhythm: lively rhythms, syncopation Dynamics: loud (at moments can drop to nothing to build back up again at moments of great excitement)

SAD Instruments: strings, woodwind, piano Pitch: low Timbre: smooth timbre Texture: gradually building or thick Melodic ideas: descending melody mainly in step with a few awkward intervals Mode/Tonality: minor key, Dorian mode Tempo: slow Rhythm: simple rhythms Dynamics: fairly quiet, maybe gradually getting louder in moments of great distress

SUSPENSE Instruments: strings, synthesisers Pitch: either extreme low or extreme high Timbre: smooth timbre Texture: gradually builds in thickness Melodic ideas: single suspended note dissonance / cluster chords Mode/Tonality: whole-tone scale, minor key Tempo: slow, free time Rhythm: simple, sustained rhythms Dynamics: quiet, maybe gradually getting louder sudden loud stabs of sound (accents)
