Music Analysis
Music within any movie creates the mood for a certain scene which, with aprropriate usage and understanding, can appeal to the correct target audience making a movie more enjoyable or even relatable. In the opening sequence of Spectre, the music at the beginning is quite slow-supposingly even calming(which contridicts the entire idea of the movie)- yet that is done by the producer purposely as it creates tension! "How?" You may ask. It is deeply thought out by the producer to keep making the audience think what happened, what is happening and what might happen and through this use of calm music it makes the audience wonder what might happen due to the fact that they expect guns, explosions and violence from Spectre. This appeals to the target audience because they want to find out why it's so calm- maybe even too calm!
As the opening sequence progresses, a person begins to sing calmly, until the 45th second where the music gets more exciting and the singer brings up his tone a little bit to emphasise the flames within the video. This allows the audience to relate this movie to the previous James Bond movies, due to the minor excitement that those sounds create.
Overall, music brings in everything into movies, including: mood, tension, comedy and many more aspects.
