For this essay, I am going to use the scene from the movie Whiplash because it has lots of sounds and beats I can write about.
The scene starts straight with the some beats of drums, which for the first 2 seconds they are normal and then, the beats start going faster for the remaining 3 seconds. While the drums are played, the sounds of trumpets are also heard. Then the music abruptly stops and the man talks for about 10 seconds.
After the 10 seconds while the man is talking, the drums and the trumpets start being played and the sound of both playing is soothing and gives me a relaxing vibe, but then the trumpets go a little bit higher and that’s when the sound of everything stops again.
After another 5 seconds the instruments are played again and to me they sound the same way they did before, however the man stops the drummer and the other players. The instruments are played again the same way about 3 times, and very time in between the plays, the man keeps counting. The instruments are every time stopped abruptly and after the man talks for about 5 seconds, they start again.
After three times, the music starts becoming a bit annoying as it suddenly stops and starts again and then it stops again.
Also, in between the plays the sound of the clapping hands is heard while the man counts as a stars for the players.
When the scene reaches 1 minute and 20 seconds, the instruments are finally playing longer than 5 seconds and the sounds are not too loud and not too soft and it’s quite relaxing. But then, the music suddenly stops and the sound of something being hit is loud.
There is a quite moment when everyone is shocked, and the sound of a deep inhaling of breath is heard, and because there is no other sound, the deep breath seems to be quite loud.
2 people are talking for about 5-10 seconds and then the sounds of fast footsteps coming in.
As they are face to face, they keep talking louder and louder and then, the sound of the slaps seems to be similar to the sound of a stick being broken. At some point, the man is not talking loud anymore, because he starts yelling.
At minute 3, after they talked for about 20 seconds, the drums are being played again and they are going really fast and they have a sudden stop, however there is still a sound remaining for another second after the boys stops playing the drums.
The man yells again and the yelling gets louder with every word.
After the man yells for about 3 seconds, there is a quite moment where no one is talking and then the man keeps the voice down and talks softly. The soft sound of the voices ends and the yelling starts again and gets louder again.
This whole scene starts with a soothing vibe and it end with a tense vibe and people yelling.
