Coraline
Statement
In the garden scene, music is effectively used to create mood, energy and anticipation.
Evidence
This is demonstrated by the use of Tempo, Chords and Dynamics in the music as Coraline enters the garden. The tempo is fast to create a feeling of energetic although it has lots of energy the music is in a minor key to foreshadow that things aren't quite right in the other world. It starts with quiet dynamics and gradually gets louder to build anticipation. This makes us audience ponder if something will go wrong later. But or now, Coraline is enjoying the other world. the director did this to show that the other garden is a lively and energetic place, unlike the real world.
