Music to set the mood

1
Music to set the mood

• Music can change everything about a situation.
• It can make a sad situation comical or a happy
  occasion mournful.
• It all depends on how it is received

2
On Late Night with Conan

• Conan OBrien demonstrated this on an episode of
  his show
• He showed a series of pictures that normally
  provoked angst and disgust, but added to the
  atmosphere a soothing lullaby, changing the mood
  entirely.

That was fun, wasnt it?

• The emotions these images normally evoke in
  people are overshadowed by the music being played
  while these images are viewed.
• It is said that it is 70 what you see, 20 what
  you hear, and 10 what is actually said.
• I think that 20 has more influence than it leads
  on

10
It works the other way around

• No matter what the image shows, its effect is
  subject to the sounds the viewer hears while
  viewing it.
• The type of music played, or sounds being heard
  affects the emotions the viewer experiences as a
  result.

Here we go again!

• Try to stay awake..

It could have been funnier

• These demonstrations prove that the scenes
  effect can completely change once audio
  parameters are added/altered.
• Many websites feed off of this fact in order to
  get more people to visit/watch their material.

www.happytreefriends.com

• This website has 2 distinct features when it
  comes to its cartoons.
• Gory, violent, actions
• Fun happy little characters and funny happy
  soundtracks

19
Try not to take these cartoons seriously...

• You may turn away if necessary.

How people reacted when the audio atmosphere
changed
No real data was taken/recorded. No such facts
were ever concluded.
22
Just something to think about

• Next time you are watching a movie, or looking at
  a painting, etc., try to bring your attention to
  the sounds around you.
• Try to see if they are having an effect on the
  way you are seeing things
• Was it deliberate? (Did the museum staff
  purposely choose music that would make you enjoy
  the paintings more?)
• Just think about it.
