Spooky Playlist Analysis

Improved Essays
After some rewatching of Extra Credits' Spooky Playlist, I've thought of a idea. The main idea is merely a symbolic sound, reaching with the psychological trees they stated (Self, Uncanny, Other)...

Everyone is familiar with certain machinery or instruments making music, having a liking of a genre or 2+, and overall other things in their life.

The way I think this would be different from other Ambient works is that it's more than sound patterns and such that inflict emotional manipulation, but something more of how a horror game or movie is made.

For example, let's say I start the song with a human moan, (sexual kind) and have it repeat with different moans, while adding delayed voices making the same moan 2 times; yet have a distortion
…show more content…
This is accompanied by a convoluted (what can I say, I love convolute-ing sounds XD) roar with a distorted spectral matrix...

A acoustic guitar and a synthesizer starts, with the acoustic guitar playing a amateur 4 chord song, while the synthesizer is constantly changing noises while playing complete discord. Soon the guitar starts a pattern of a variety of distortions constantly changing while the synthesizer turns into an distorted organ, in which the roles are switched, in which the synthesizer has a mechanical disruptive organ playing the 4 chords, while the guitar's turned to chaos. (this happens while the screaming happens)

This entire song creates an uncanny and other feeling, while giving a sense of how we lusted for the moaning at the beginning but turned away from it imaging what happened, in the form that we could've done it...

I am HORRIBLE at creating horror through anything, So please don't judge my song-thing above, but the idea around it :)

edit: I am also not good with musical terms :(, correct me or tell me if something matches this description of music. (to teach me more) And don't be mean about it ;)

also I am horrible at

    The Melting Pot I choose the “Arabian Waltz” by the Silk Road Ensemble as my song. This group is composed of “distinguished musicians, composers and performing artists from more than 20 countries around the world to celebrate, explore and experiment with a wide variety of cultural approaches to musical performances” (The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma: Live from Tanglewood). At the beginning of the piece I felt very serene with just a couple of instruments playing. However, when all the instruments joined in. the piece became more exciting.…

    Summary: Echols’ article begins by discussing how the medium of radio was effectively used for storytelling, particularly in telling horror stories. She does not immediately offer her thesis in this introduction, but rather gradually builds up to it by introducing key elements of her argument throughout the introduction. One important element she mentions is that radio was about “focusing on the individual listener” (43), particularly by making the audience identify with the characters and feeling as if they are experiencing the events of the story. She then begins to explain how this was done through dialogue and sound effects, such as the noise of exploding bombs (Echols 44). By using the technique of starting broad and zeroing in, Echols…

    Excellent Audiovisual Design The Coma's aesthetics are akin to a graphic novel, and the thorough execution of its visual design greatly contributes to the oppressive atmosphere. The design regimen's attention to detail ensures that individual elements conform to the larger whole: for instance, the map looks hastily drawn from memory on a piece of graph paper. Overall the art style leans towards a stylized realism that helps develop an eerie and unwelcoming atmosphere befitting the game. The true star of the show, however, is the incredible audio design--with a soundtrack reminiscent of Akira Yamaoka's work on the Silent Hill franchise.…

    Excellent Audio Visual Design With aesthetics akin to a graphic novel, the thoroughness of The Coma's visual design greatly contributes to the game's sinister atmosphere. The attention to detail in the design regime is all-encompassing; for instance, the map looks hastily drawn from memory on a piece of graph paper and Youngho's body language consistently convey concern. Overall the art style leans towards a stylized realism that helps develop an eerie and unwelcoming atmosphere. The true star of the show, however, is the incredible audio design--with a soundtrack reminiscent of Akira Yamaoka's work on the Silent Hill franchise.…

    The characters move through various locations that reference scenes in the film, with Hanratty always one step behind but getting closer and closer to Frank, until they both share the screen at the end of the titles. The credits fade to black just as Hanratty is about a catch up with Frank, leaving the ending open and emulating the suspense that features throughout the movie. A subtle touch of humour in the title credits, which work to establish the light-hearted tone of the film, is introduced when the credits are juxtaposed with corresponding imagery. For example, the novelist, Frank W. Abagnale, is credited during the library sequence, and the names of title designers Kuntzel and Deygas are displayed on the spines of two books.…

    While some horror films have dramatic, bombastic soundtracks that appear out of science to shock the viewers, It Follows has a much more subtle way to evoke fear in its audience. The music in the movie almost never starts off loud. In fact, it usually begins at a level that is almost impossible to hear and. As the soundtrack slowly crescendos, the background noise becomes quieter, until the sounds of the score have completely drowned out the sounds from the scene. The score mainly consist of digitally-rendered ambient sounds along with synthesizers and percussion instruments.…

    In the beginning, the director uses a suspenseful, usual low other-worldly sliding, bass that creates a momentum to that underlines the mood for the scene. The impact of the beginning score instantly creates an atmosphere of fear and paranoid for the viewers. It also creates a sense of dread for an unseen jump scare. In the scene where Danny is riding into the hallway, the music changes again into a disturbing and borderline on tragic, informing the viewer something terrible is about to happen. Then the scene reaches its climax score with climbing of bass and the strings of the violin, leaves a chilling and sinister effect on the viewers, where they moved with an unsettling feeling.…

    Callum Watt 000873235-3 Soundtrack Analysis - Psycho In the clip that we are provided (known as “The Murder) we are given a very famous and influential scene from one of Alfred Hitchcock's most critically acclaimed films. Bernard Herrmann, the composer for the movie did a sensational soundtrack with a low budget, and even went against Hitchcock’s wishes of the score to be jazz based. With the low budget instead of using an entire orchestra Herrmann only used strings to create an arguably more tense and dark feel to the movie, Fred Steiner, in an analysis of the score to Psycho, points out that “string instruments gave Herrmann access to a wider range in tone, dynamics, and instrumental special effects than any other single instrumental group…
