For this workshop of of the Teachers at our school played 2 songs on his guitar and once he finished said song on Guitar we were to write down in 3 or more words on how that song made us feel.

-----------------

Major - Upbeat, Louder, Full strings (Full stroke the guitars strings), Contains 1st 3rd 5th.
Minor - Low Beat, Quieter, suspenseful, Mysterious, Romantic.
Tempo - Speed of the beat or how fast the song is being played as.

Non-Diegetic - Soundtracks, Special Effects

-----------------

In the Dystopian Film The Hunger Games made by Gary Ross music is used substatially to suport Theme and Idea of Hope and Rebellion. This is demonstrated during Rue's Death through the minor cords which makes the audiance hold a sort of sadness for Rue's death. The Tempo of the soundtrack that is also playing during this scene is slowly revealing the emontion and grief to which Katniss is feeling. The dynamic of the music when this scene first starts is a soft quiet sound and builds up louder as the scene progresses through. The director did this to make the auidence feel some sort of connection to Katniss in an emotionally charged moment, where Katniss loses hope. This had wroked out well with the following scene after Rue's death where Distrct 11 goes into a Riot.
