Audio Analysis | Submarine Clip


PURPOSE
The purpose of the music is too set a clear narrative, for example with every activity change in the clip there is a change of style to the music, When there is an uplifting moment the music reflects that. From the music the viewer understands that Oliver is trying to decipher the stories that he is telling himself and through this he is hoping to understand more about himself.
Additional purposes include making the transition between each story obvious, moreover making sure the audience knows that there is an adjustment between each style and story within each of the little narratives that are featured.
The clip from Submarine is made up of multiple little flashbacks and is subdivided through a story, this helps us as the viewer gain a greater understanding of the narrative.
From the clip we get an understanding that Oliver is telling a story and reflecting on past events, he is using the events to his advantage as he is trying to understand and identify events within himself and his life.

ELEMENTS
The clip is made up of multiple elements and overlays, these including a short makeup of individual clips throughout along with some overlaying music to narrate the video.
Oliver is trying to find is identity and purpose. The music reflects this as it is restless and busy, and presents the story as very fast paced, this is effective as it is clear that many thoughts are going through Oliver's head at this time.
The music demonstrates and amplifies the typing action and accompanies Oliver though out the stories that he is telling. It matches the meaning of his letter and intentions despite the visuals being dark and vulgar. 

MEANING
The stories told are about people's bad times in life and how they have gotten through them. The meaning behind the music is that the music its self is explaining a narrative to the viewer. The developers of the film have put a lot of thought behind the sound track to the piece and how it can assist in telling the narrative
