Harry Potter Sound Exercise

This is my Harry potter exercise 

The style of music we feel that we created was an oriental sound as the loops we used included pipes, small cymbals and a mandarin which is usually associated with a more oriental sound we used this to show the equilibrium at the start of the sequence and to show that it was calm and serene from when we looked at the sun down to the city then as they walked through the field. The loop we used for when the title came up was a reversed cymbal that was crescendo this matched with the title getting bigger and closer towards you. think that the overall effect that we have created right at the beginning was, firstly when we saw the title the reversed cymbal sound signified to the audience that something important was coming creating tension and secondly when the we saw Harry walking through the field we created the effect that we wanted to, which i mentioned earlier in the paragraph. 

We feel that we used a similar style of music to the first scene, but towards the end we want to create a humorous effect so we used cymbals when Harry went over to the boy and grabbed his shirt, also because the sounds were quite harsh it signified the strength in Harry. we made the tempo of the loop match with the scene. Right at the end of this scene we used an orchestral sound to convey vitality of the change in the weather.

We tried to create a mysterious effect, at the start of the transition we used a deep noise that sounded like wind the effect we wanted to create with that was that there was a storm coming and to show the intensity and power of it. Then we used a sci-fi sound for the rest of the transition to create a mystery as they were looking up at the sky.  Then a distorted electric guitar came in to show that something had changed the certain loop we used was also very dominant signifying the dementor

Overall I am pleased with the sequence but I think that we could have added more loops to the dementor scene to make the effect more dominant and to make the audience feel more about what the scene is about. Also in the transition between the change of weather and when it got darker i think we could of had a sound like a snare or bass drum to emphasis when harry and the boy were running as the tracking shot and the way that the camera was slightly jumpy showed the speed but the sound could emphasize that
