Action/Adventure music

1. Sound such as gun shooting, helicopters from a distance and people creaming are examples of conventions in an action/adventure movie. These  things would be used in this particular type of genre, because these are the main codes and conventions which would occur in this particular type of movie.

2. Music can be used to create tension. This technique is used to make the audience get engaged and wonder what is going to happen. This is used to attract the audience and without this, the audience wouldn't know what mood it is in. For example, slow music is used to create tension. This is meant by making us want to find out what is going to happen. In addition, fast music is to show the action or something going on.

3. Sound is used to the targeted audience to create the mood of the scene. It is used to target particular audience because different music has different effects, hence some movies are targeted to a particular audience.

4. The Amazing Spider Man clip- Take It

In the beginning of the scene when The basketball player was trying to get the ball of Peter, the music had a happy/funny tone. This has been used to show the comedy in the movie. It could have also been used to break up the tension before this scene has occured.

In the end of the scene, when Peter tried to get ball into the hoop, the music was going fast. This means that it is creating tension and makes us want to find out if he shoots the ball in the hoop.
