Music for Film analysis

 In this sequence the soundtrack is first shown to be jolly and upbeat. The soundtrack gets the viwers ready for the film as it gets them in a good mood and feel as if the film is going to be humerous and light-hearted. The soundtrack rolls into the opening scene and then is changed via gorillas playing drums and George screaming. This adds humour as the surrealism of gorillas playing drums could be seen as quite humourus. There is a narrator over the top of the music which helps introduce the main character, George of the jungle. The music underneath the narrative is very light hearted and is based around the sound of handheld drums e.g. congos. This adds to the effect of the setting being in the jungle. There is a constant reminder of the setting (the jungle) as you can hear insects and other animals in the background. The music gets louder as the narrator is about to talk, this acts as an introduction to the narrator. The music sets the adventure genre as it is flowing and never really stops. The music follows the action and raises when it gets exciting. The happy music makes the film seem enjoyable and not scary. Although we never get fully introduced to the main character, the music enables us to imagine what he may be like.
