Music and narrative

Today’s seminar we talked about the relationship between music and video. Music can support multiply possibilities to emotion expression. A clip has different music would convey completely different feeling.

Then I thought about the balance or weight of them, does music render the atmosphere of story, or story effect music? In my view, the emotion video gives, would inspire the association, because audience could see this picture or event; But music influence audience by its rhythm and tone.

In a range of story, the storytelling would be influenced by music, when we are designing a narrative, we should consider the music and sounds.

How music / sound apply in my project

In my current EP&IV project, I used couple of 3D models to build a location, which shows the hierarchy of society and different social character. Simply to say, I want to show the relationship between individuals and group.

Sounds could show different properties, if I use sound effects to be the variable of individuals, it would be more interesting than only colors of scale.

Make it to has different sound effect

For example, when a new individuals have been generated, a random / relative sound will play as well, so it can show the difference with other.

In this work, individuals show same properties, they grouped and became a part of environment

His sculptures are always placed on the floor rather than on plinths. Not simply objects to look at, they become part of the environment, altering the viewer’s relationship to the surrounding space.

In my work, I would focus more on relationship rather than the expression of individuals. So, we can use common visuals to combine a group with a high-level harmony. And use sounds to distinguish each individuals.
