Music In The Killer

848 Words4 Pages

The role of the music in the film “The Killer” is to enhance feelings of observers: this is evident from repetition of one music during sad scenes, from dynamic music during tense scenes and from the lyrics of the songs of Jenny.
The music in the film enhances our feelings about sad scenes. The director used one music several times for the sad scenes. First time we hear this music in the church after shooting in the restaurant, Ah, John is shot and bullets are taken from his back, his face shows suffering and at the same time, he feels sorry about Jenny. After that, the scene immediately transfers with the song to Jenny in the hospital realizing that she cannot see clearly. We see sorrow of the scenes and hear background music; however, it will not give us the final enhancing effect yet. Then we hear this music when Ah, John calls to Jenny and says that he is going to take her medicines, at that moment the atmosphere where he stands close to the sea in the darkness, worrying about Jenny and lying to her makes me feel empathetic and sorry for his condition. In the final scene when Li sees that Ah, John is almost dying, when Ah, John and Jenny creep and try to reach each other this sad piano music comes to culmination of my feelings and make it the saddest moment. The role of music is significant since I have heard it in sad moments; therefore, at final scenes it reached its highest degree. This music appears in scenes with Jenny and Ah John Then we hear this music in the

    In this point of my analysis, I deal with the scene that one could argue most enriches the main subject of the story, namely hope. In this scene that is created by Darabont, Andy, who is at Norton 's office to receive some used books and sundries for the prison 's library, locks the guard in the bathroom and then starts playing a recording of ‘Canzonettasull 'aria’ from the opera The Marriage of Figaro. As Verstraten argues, filmmakers use music as narrative tool(153) that not only challenges the audience 's emotions but also carries the theme of the movie. In this scene the music is intradiegetic since Andy connects the public speaker system to the record player so that all of the prisoners can hear the music. In her book Music in American Crime Prevention and Punishment, Lily Hirsch explains that this scene “also highlights another utopia musical ascription related to the contested idea that music is a universal language” since all the prisoners are feeling connected, enjoying the music while hope is revived within their

    The sorrow of the princess was definitely felt by the audience and it was heard throughout the piece. Since the piece was intended to be sad, it remained in a minor key for the most part. I did notice that as the intensity of the song (when the princess’ father send soldiers to capture the two lovers) was shown by using louder dynamics such as fortissimo (ff) rather than piano (p) or pianissimo (pp). Lopez also included more use of the percussion and brass instruments such as the tuba, trombone, trumpet and horn making the suspense grow. The upper stringed instruments complimented the flute very nicely since they both have that soothing sound.
