                                                film music

at the start of this clip it has a very distinctive ticking sound which maybe hints that theres a count down and we should expect something big or something unique to happen. as the ticking stops the ticking shows something extra ordinary in lab being analysed which is making the audience think it could be a start of something big and different.after a high pitched  synthesised violin kicks in to carry on the story because it already shown a robot ,so the violin takes us in the next bit of the story where it shows us robots being apart of our every day life then then it slowly increases in frequency and pitch when it shows us that robots are killing off human kind which makes us feel the tension building up.after drums and pianos  kicked in and it shows a character running and dodging falling objects which immediately tells us that tension is present and the actor is in danger.

this clip has a very distinctive orchestral rhythm which is very fast and has a deep brass which indicates tension which in this clip was a combat between humans and a robot.when the music a weapon was risen and the movie  slows down then we heard gun shots in slow motion then a big commotion which creates excitement or thrill.

at the start of this clip we could here a distinctive alarm raising sound with the sound of clock ticking in the background which partly hints that there is a countdown for something chaotic and god forbidden to happen.then as it shows us we see guns blazing then someone gets hurt and a slow sound of a violin kicks in which represents sorrow.

in the start of this clip a classical song by the isley brothers  comes on which plays through out the whole clip shows this movie has a very happy vibe and very laid back.

at the start of this clip trumpets and saxophones were being played

in the beginning we can   hear a loud bell ringing which maybe is used a countdown then after a slow orchestral sound kicks in with a fast playing violin and slow loud bangs of a drum which kicks the tension up a notch then it carries on getting faster and faster till a drum bangs then it stops which hints hints us something was revealed then the violins started off playing slow again.after bells and drums kicks back in but even louder and i shows the characters at combat which means theres conflict.after someone dies pianos kick in which playing slow which represents sarrow

in the start percussions were being played then noises of drums kicked playing fast wen the warrior was getting prepared for his mission. when then the warrior arrived in the west i heard western music playing which represents the whole theme,then guitars kicked in when it showed us how he was getting used to the west which creates a happy mood then abit of hip-hop music came which makes us rock to it so it creates a happy vibe

Question 6 activity

    In this activity i will be describing Angel's final arrival in the village  and also how the shots were taken and edited etc.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

the scene where angel arrived in the village was pretty established because a lot of the background and his surroundings was exposed because the shot was taken from pretty far away .after he Dismounted the horse the shot began to get closer and closer and it also forms a pattern by repeating the same sequence .first the cameras are placed at mid-shots which means the characters are place in the middle then the camera zooms in then the pattern began to get faster and faster as the villains were being introduced .

                           Clip analysis using terminology

In the beginning of the clip we hear a piano playing which gives it a calm start. As the horses get close the pitch and the frequency increases which creates tension and gives us a slight idea of whats gonna happen next . Also as the pitch and frequency increase we hear horse shoes and the volume of that also increases as they get closer which builds tension even more .after all that the drums kick in with a loud bong but slowly which kinda makes us think something is gonna happen which makes us pay attention even ,its kinda used similar to a count down.
  as the horses carry on a lot of diegtic sound starts to come in such as the sound of the guns ,breathing of the actor(speech\dialogue),the crow  ,neighing of the horses ,the opening of the door and the smashing of the glass which mixes with the non-diegetic sound such as the piano,violin, base and drums.from the heavy breathing we can immediately that someone is participating in high intense which causes heavy breathing which in this case would be running ,after we hear the clicking of the guns and silence of the actors which adds another piece to the puzzle and tells us they are calm and ready to kill.Couple seconds after we hear opening of the the door and smashing of the glass which tells that the actors were in the middle off a hot pursuit.
