Music

As one of the performance elements, music makes a great contribution to deepening film’s main idea and the integrity and orderliness of the film narrative structure. Documentary with music inserted in good time can reveal the profound meaning more delicately and vividly and increase brilliance to the documentary itself.

The lyric feature of music acting on the documentary can give full play to the emotional appeal of various artistic elements such as color, music, sound and subtitles, and thus strengthen the thoughts and feelings of the documentary. Music can go deep into people’s inner world, and the emotions and thoughts of the character as well as the volatility of events can be expressed most vividly. Even the scenes of general natural scenery will be cast a charming atmosphere, resulting in a huge intoxicating artistic charm.

I selected two pieces of music in total for this film. My film contained scenes from Britain and China two countries, and their scenes are interspersed with each other. So I selected two kinds of music to represent and distinguish their scenes respectively on a national basis. British are more cheerful and enthusiastic, and there are many interesting shots in the film. So I chose lively and dynamic music for them, and people can feel their happy atmosphere. Chinese people are relatively shy, and the most scenes are hard-working scenario in the film. So the music I chose is full of Chinese classical music elements so that the audience can feel that they have melt into the music.

I chose the naughty lively music as the ending music of the film, for our interaction with the fishermen was very warm and funny at the end of the film. I hope the music can also infect the audience.

音乐作为纪录片的表现元素之一，对纪录片主题的深化以及纪录片叙事结构的完整性、有序性起了很大的作用。适时融入音乐的纪录片能更加细腻生动地揭示纪录片的深刻内涵，为纪录片本身增加光彩。
音乐的抒情特性，作用在纪录片中可以充分发挥色彩、音乐、音响、字幕等各种艺术元素的情绪感染力，进而强化纪录片的思想情感。音乐能够深入到人物的内心世界，将角色的感情、思绪以及事件发展的波动表达得淋漓尽致。即使表现一般自然景物的画面也会被它罩上一层迷人的气氛，产生出巨大的令人陶醉的艺术魅力。
在我这次的片中，我一共选择了两个音乐在片中。我拍摄的内容为英国和中国两个国家，他们的场景会相互穿插，所以我以国家为单位，分别使用两种音乐来代表和区分他们的场景。英国人较为开朗热情，在片中有许多有趣的镜头，所以选择的音乐较为轻快有动感，让人能感受他们快乐气息。中国人较为害羞，在片中多为努力工作的镜头居多，所以选择的音乐富有一些中国古典音乐的气息，让人有能融入其中的感觉。
在片尾音乐的选择上，我选用了淘气活泼的音乐，因为在片子的最后有我们与渔民的互动，非常的温馨有趣。希望音乐同样可以感染到观众。
