dessertation film one

Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula.

In this film Dracula has a motif this first comes into plat at 1:00minuet in to the film when is off to was and carries out until he curses at god and stabs the cross on the alter, it then comes up numerous of times in the film, this certain motif for Dracula is very drone and use with orchestral instruments witch give you an image of grate evil and horror like Alfred Hitchoks psycho shower scene is use with high pitch violins to represent the stabbing but with this song its more slower and deeper but then build up to a fast and higher pitch witch can be representing the rage of Dracula and then this exploding in what he does in the intro it stab the cross with a sword, the second time this motif comes up is when Keanu reeves character laughs at Dracula’s portrait and Dracula then pulls out a sword on him. And then goes on to talk about blood-Dracula life force and how he is the last of his kind, but then Keanu reeves ask for forgiveness and then music dies down, not building up or exploding in hatred or anger so this proves my point about his motif
At 16:47 there’s this sad and hight pitched music that comes in although the violins deliver a sad and almost pathetic sound there is a the droning sound of a cello or double bass making the horror part of this stand out, the two work rather well together, creating the emotion of sadness but then reminding you that is Dracula and that he is evil and that is done by the low parts.
At 22:00-22:35 the camera pans over to the woman and then it all becomes dark an this weird music box music come in and a shadow goes over her the shadow is Dracula’s but its had a windy noise in the back ground making it more sinister and more horror like and the music comes to a slow down almost to a stop creating a more scary atmosphere putting a little more fear in the viewer.
24:13 this is a build up to what I call evil the music extremely sinister and slow getting louder and louder until then the insane man attack the doctor and then the music kicks in full blast.
28:12 Dracula crawls down the wall and this slow almost fantasy music comes in what make t fantasy is that the harp us pretty predominant in this part but still is weird seeing a man crawl down a vertical wall.
31:00-34:08 Again this motif of Dracula music comes in again when Keanu reeves character get seduced by the female vampire but this time is starts out soft with cellos and very smooth as he is get touched but the vampire then it get worse and as the situation gets worse the music get more louder and rough as the try to feed on him then when Dracula come in the fill blow evilness off the music comes in and dies down but then stars up again with the droning cellos again.
37:00-42:00the camera pans over the zoo and a similar sort of motif comes in but this time is different with a quire over the top of it sound like a hyme of some sort and then has a woman on her own adding to the intensity of this, also shows you Dracula in a were wolf form as well and lucy the red head has hear Dracula’s call and then gone out to find him in the garden, the music when she roaming around looking for is that of just 3notes (like “Halloween” and “jaw” bother there motif have just 3 note but work stupidly well and there are know around the world) and also this has a group of men song over the top of it, it is quite a slow sounding music but then it has short sharp notes when he close to the werewolf and then violins kick when he has bitten her, this could represent him sinking his teeth into Lucy’s neck this could be her turning point to evil?
49:50 the motif comes in again when Dracula dances with his love and she figures out who Dracula really is and he try to bite her and at the peak of the song he cannot bring him self to do it.
55:45 a very quite and soft melody is played but its still a bit airy and then thing take to worse and more evil essence
57:04 the music in this part practically has a lot of tensioning it you can tell just buy listening to the music and also puts fearing to the part of this.
101:02-101:53 wirde music box music again but this time he is try to seduces her also sound like a carnival music…
116:47 again this is what i call a build of evil n this partical part dracula is going to find his "love" but she gone to marry her fenoce and the music build up to a grate sense of evil and reenge it has Christan orcestera feel and image to it but as it builds up ti a final exsplotion of music loud and powerful as if all hell was let loose.
124:03 remins me again of phyco with shapr stabbing notes but this time there driving a stek thiugh her heart and hrn finaly cut her head off but the music in this is not exactly the smae it builds up and it does give the view a chill down yoour spine just from the music.



Dracula’s motif comes in nearly every time Dracula is angry or if some other vampire is feeding or going to reed on a victim, this is most likely that is shows a grate evil feeding on a human vampires are supposed to Satan angles or devils children, witch explains the evil and sinister music that come into the act of evil that is done
