Blog Assignment #4


In this scene from Matrix you can hear audio used in many ways.  Right from the beginning you hear Agent Smith and Neo aka Mr. Anderson throw their guns away with very little echo telling the audience that they are in a small enclosed area.  We also hear constant buildup of the music in the background helping us feel the growing tension between the two characters.  Throughout the scene as the characters go blow for blow against one another we can hear the Speed and Loudness gain as their kicks and punches land with more ferocity. The breaking of the concrete pillars and shattering glass also stands out as they destroy the environment around them.  In the scene we can also hear an Emotional aspect to the music, such as when our hero is thrown to the ground or against the wall we have very sudden stops in the fast-paced music causing the audience to feel worried for the protagonist.  The music and sound in this clip are extremely important to setting the mood for the audience.
