MUSIC 2F03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Tonality, Takers, The Sugarland Express
Document Summary
Humans represented by this because they sound very fragile (humans very fragile in this hostile world) Ran through an echo: director liked physical sets vs. green screen spaceship set was too small so made spacesuits for children so they looked smaller compared to the ship. Very dissonant: score is very conventional in terms of how it is organized jerry goldsmith uses themes and they undergo thematic transformation. But no major=happy, minor= sad: scene: the takers. They nd water but they are not alone they catch the glimpse of something else they are human, but they are primitive (the takers) Music for the astronauts is atonal but strongly organized. Clear even rhythm supported by the snare drum: they are more intelligent, have more technology. Music for unseen takers is chaotic, chirping woodwinds, log drums- more primitive sound: there is a main theme to this lm, scene: the crossing (part 1)
