Film Scoring | An Introduction

Film Score: musik orisinil yang ditulis khusus untuk mengiringi sebuah film.

  • Diegetic: terkandung dalam action, contoh: radio, instrument musik.
  • Non-Diegetic: background music, contoh: avengers.

Kunci Keberhasilan Audio: membagun emosi tanpa audiens mengetahui/menyadari.


Fungsi Film Score

  • Atmosphere

Musik dalam film tidak harus sophisticated, satu atau dua nada sudah cukup untuk menjadi score, yang penting bisa membangun mood.

Contoh:

    • Up (2009): melodi dibangun mengikuti emosi karakter.
    • Gangster Squad (2013): melodi mengikuti aksi karakter.

  • Character

Theme song dibuat untuk membantu mendeskripsikan karakter dan agar orang melekat dengan karakternya, termasuk benda-benda kepemilikannya (asosiasi).

Contoh:

    • Memperkenalkan karakter: theme song Wonder Woman di film Batman vs Superman
    • Mendeskripsikan karakter sekaligus membangun emosi: drums dan terompet dalam theme song Captain America yang memacu adrenalin dan identic dengan ‘soldier’
    • Mengasosiasikan benda kepemilikan dengan karakter: theme song Luke Skywalker terdengar ketika lightsaber-nya Luke Skywalker dipegang oleh Rey
  • Scene Transition

Musik dimanfaatkan untuk mengiringi transisi atau pergantian adegan dari shot sebelumnya ke shot berikutnya.

Contoh: Delicatessen -> penggunaan ritme (tanpa melodi) untuk cross-scene.

 

Konsep Pendukung Musik dalam Film

  • Hyperrealism

Tidak ada batasan antara realita dan fiksi. Contoh: Lucifer (2016).

  • Realism

Sesuai dengan realita. Contoh: Whiplash (2014).

  • Emphatetic

Mood musik dibangun sesuai dengan mood aksi/adegan. Contoh: Guardians of the Galaxy (2017) -> Lagu Father and Son dimainkan sesuai dengan mood sedih dan temanya tentang ayah dan anak.

  • Anemphatetic

Mood musik bertolakbelakang dengan mood aksi. Contoh: Deadpool (2016) -> musik slow digunakan untuk adegan action, sehingga menjadi ironi tersendiri.

In film editing, separate shots are stitched together to tell a story. Those combined shots create harmonious relations that can build the audience's understanding of the story. The relation between those shots can be categorized as graphical, rhythmical, spatial, and temporal.   Graphical relation The graphical relationship between visual elements in consecutive shots based on the similarity or contrast of form, composition, shot type, color, movement, or lighting. To create a graphical relation, there are some methods or tools that can be used. One of them is match cut, which can be utilized to show time change or contrast. (eg. morning – night, crowded – quiet). It can also unite two shots with the same composition. (eg. shots with one point perspective). Putting together two contrasting shots with a match cut can also create juxtaposition, which is the placement of two or more things side by side, often to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect. (eg. sho
