Music Inspiration

The theme music for 'The Borrowers' is a use of non diegetic sounds built to make a fantasy soundtrack, which is suitable for a family audience. This gave me inspiration for the music we would me going to create for our film. Their is one main resembalance between our film and this film, and that is the use of the 'small' protagonists. When our protagonist shrunk, we had to create sound effects for the bigger things around her, which would sound different to when she was normal size.

I took inspiration for the sound effects from the film, at 2 minutes 12 seconds, we see the over exagerated sound used for the effect of the ice cubes falling, i took examples from this and used it in our film, for example when our protagonist was petting the rabbit, we used non diegetic sound to create the effect of the rabbit making noises, when in reality they are very quiet animals. The way the soundtrack is presented through 'The Borrowers' as well as the diegetic speech, and non diegetic sound effects, creates a good effect, as it builds the scene. I decided to repeat the same piece of music throughout our film as it set the scene of Christmas.
