[Keywords] Symphony; film music; music application Symphony has many factors and a variety of musical languages. It focuses on the fleeting passage of time and subtle changes in things. It is an art form with its own unique rules. The outstanding feature of the symphony is that it fully utilizes the timbre and range of strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments. The novel orchestration makes a variety of musical instruments complement each other and coordinate tacitly, thus producing an artistic effect that is magnificent, colorful and expressive. Since the advent of sound films, a large amount of soundtracks have been added to general film productions, on the one hand to satisfy the audience's auditory enjoyment, and on the other hand to make it easier for the audience to enjoy the film due to the guidance of the music. Although the soundtrack is not an integral part of the film, it is an important part of the film. The main characteristics of film music: When film music is combined with other sound elements such as dialogue, narration, sound effects, etc., if it is properly matched with the picture, it can enable the audience to supplement and deepen the artistic experience of the film when accepting the visual image. If film music exists independently of the picture, it will lose its comprehensive function of audio-visual unity. However, particularly complete fragments can still be played and appreciated as independent musical works. 1. The majesty of the symphony. The most attractive aspect of the music in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is the majesty of the symphony, which is mainly reflected in the organic fusion of classical music and modern music in the orchestra, and the unique technology of classical music. Combined with expressiveness and popular rhythms in modern music, the atmosphere of film music created is definitely not what previous film music in the traditional sense could achieve. The overall music is still Hans Zimmer's typical technique. It starts with the sixteenth note rhythm of the string orchestra, and on this basis, the melody and lines of the horn are slowly added and then pushed back, the chorus comes in. The whole music feels like there is a gradual process, which is a characteristic of Hans Zimmer. It uses strings as the rhythm. Normally, composers create big melodies. For example, party music uses strings as the melody. On the contrary, he used the brass part to make the melody, and the string parts were always restless to make the rhythm. That kind of dynamic feeling is also the characteristic of its sound, so the characteristics of this piece of music are particularly obvious at the beginning. Later, the master The method has been to maintain this mood, and it is getting higher and higher every wave. The scene of the fierce battle between justice and evil in the movie "Avatar" is quite intense, and this piece of music interweaves wind and string instruments. In order to highlight the intensity of the war scenes, more than 100 musicians were specially recruited to perform in the orchestra. James Horner used a huge orchestra to add a heroic and majestic atmosphere to this visual feast. This makes justice and evil clearly reflected in this thrilling war between humans and the Na'vi. The composer uses a lot of brass and string beats with a strong metallic feel to reflect a kind of collision and ruthlessness, which further clarifies the two sides. A fierce confrontation on the subject. The movie "Autumn Rain" used a quick flashback method to reproduce that bloody history and reproduce the brutal behavior of the Japanese army in China. This is what really happened in the history of these two countries, and it is the past that the protagonist's love must face. The music in this section mainly uses war-themed soundtrack techniques. The music is generally heavy, as if it is beating in everyone's heart. This traditional method of scoring war themes is to create the sound quality and musical elements of a symphony as much as possible. The shocking power of wind instruments creates an almost real war scene; the bass played by the double bass, the tone of the cello that follows, and the faded sound of the violin at the end form a main melody, triggering the audience's memories of the war. After this piece of music ended, a melody dominated by trumpet appeared, and the music seemed very distant. When the trumpet melody appeared for the second time, it deepened the feeling of this music, and the audience's thoughts also deepened. 2. The tension of the symphonic battle. The music in the final battle in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is relatively atmospheric. It is also the final test for several protagonists, so the music used is also very tense. How does this tension manifest itself? Use brass instruments to express this kind of tension, excitement and a bit of horror. Of course, you also add percussion and some treble parts of strings. Add these sounds together and add some auxiliary electronic music, and it’s like This makes the final picture very complete. This piece of music combines the classical music of the symphony with modern music. The catalytic effect produced by the special pictures and scenes is unparalleled, and the majestic momentum generated is also unmatched. . The opening music of the movie "Night Raid" is based on a percussion rhythm. Although there is some friction with the movie background at that time, it is not so intense that a fight is required. It is just a tension and a hair-trigger rhythm underneath. The Jinsui of the Kuomintang The army and our Eighth Route Army fought over a carriage. When the brothers were fighting fiercely, Japanese planes came to bomb the train station. The brothers who had been fighting with fists and kicks just now immediately expressed their hatred for the enemy and took aim at the enemy. For the enemy aircraft, strings, brass and electronic sounds were used in the music to express the scene of fighting the enemy aircraft, and then some minor strings were used to set it off, and some brass dissonances were used to carry out the scene. Creation of tension. The visual is an intensive impact, and the auditory is also an all-round experience. The sound of cannons and gunshots echo in the strings, and the national spirit is high-spirited, making the audience's blood boil. 3. The Beauty of Symphonic Love The movie "Daisy" tells a poignant love story. The heroine Huiying is a very kind and pure character. Her heart is full of the best yearning for love. The composer composed a major-key, warm-feeling music for this character. The chords that make up the melody are full of sunny temperament. The music seems to be telling Huiying's dream in her heart - to meet the lover in her heart unexpectedly and romantically. The story fulfills the heroine's dream - the male protagonists Zheng Yu and Huiying meet unexpectedly. In this plot, the composer chose the theme melody of the film to match the scene. The melody itself is full of sadness, and such musical symbols subtly foreshadow the development of the film. The concept of the entire film is full of new ideas. It always uses the different visions of the three characters Huiying, Zheng Yu, and Pu Yi to narrate the emotional development of the entire film. Regarding the appearance of Zheng Yu, both the director and the film's soundtrack gave him tragic artistic characteristics. His theme music is a sad and gloomy melody in a minor key. The story develops to the scene where the gunfight begins and Huiying is injured. This music is completely composed of a cello solo. The unique timbre and range of the cello bring the atmosphere of the film into a low and depressing state, as if there is no time to say this. Love has a sad ending. At the end of the film, none of the three protagonists can let go of the love in their hearts, but they each have their own secrets and cannot express their true love to each other. When three people appeared at the same time for the only time in the play, the music vividly displayed the uneasy mood. The piano played triplet notes in the high range, which seemed to reflect Pu Yi's uneasy mood; the violin's long playing in the high range The line melody reflects Zheng Yu's sad mood when he struggled to say sorry to Huiying; the cello's bowing performance expresses the heroine's desire not to lose her true love. The three musical instruments play in turn, intertwining into the melody of this paragraph. With the ups and downs of the picture, the ending of the love story contained in the film is outlined.
