Peterpan Soundtrack Task

The clip above is the opening to PeterPan; I have chosen to speak about this film's soundtrack and how it has an impact on us as the audience.

At the very beginning of the clip you hear a melodious soundtrack, that plays calmly as the audience read he words on the screen appropriately; Gradually the tune changes increasing as the name of the movie is revealed, making it appear magical. [0-50secs]

Gently the scene changes and the camera is lowered down making the rooftops the subject, and then you hear an enthusiastic young girl telling a story.. You can hear the diegetic sound of the horses hurrying by, if not by the visuals the sound was hinting to us the time of when the movie was set.. Before you even see the girl you can understand her character as she tells stories about pirates & flying; You also come to understand that by the accent and hr formal english that she must be from a upper class family.[51-72secs]

As the character comes into view her voice is no longer distant and closer to us as the audience, which also helps us understand the character. As soon as she emphasizes on the word 'Hook' you can hear the diegetic sound where the dog whimpers in fear.. It suggests dogs too have fears & feelings; the dog carries on moaning now but less of fear and more frustration.[73-93]

This section begins with a diegetic sound as the young boy pulls out a play sword in defense of his story telling sister; At the a a non-diegetic sound. Then you hear the young children play fighting with a swords and the dog barking in fear of danger and not understanding the game of it. Soon after you hear the books drop down as the battle against it.As the visuals reveal PeterPan hiding behind the curtains, you hear a diegetic sound of Tinkerbell flying towards Peterpan implying she's a fairy; as soon as the dog is aware he reacts by growling at PeterPan being protective over the children and loyal to his owners.Soon after the deigetic sound f the dog's barking catches the childrens attention and brings to their attention that there may be danger. [94-121secs]
