Film Extract sound analysis

i don't think that i have ever fully took an interest into Gothic films and/ or horror movies so for me to be given the task of finding a movie extract to evaluate the audio of it became a bit of a struggle at first.

I think that with films and movies of this sort the imagery is important although the audio is more vital.

I was going to do the usual me thing and "stick to what i know" but instead i chose to evaluate a different film, one that i hadn't even watched or taken a interest in the past (on a personal level). There was no clues as to what the storey line or plot was, i assumed that this would be a common Gothic conventional film, in all honesty it wasn't what i had anticipated.

please follow the above hyperlink to watch the clip.

this stunned me, made me feel unease but curious to view the complete clip. i like the usage of lighting, the way the camera shot is used to make me feel as though i am stood half away between the two actors. i find it weird but still quirky the way the music is used to set the scenery.. it's almost like a child's jewellery box, the chime of the music, like in Edward scissor hands.

the building and set design was different, yet still familiar in comparison to a period drama. but it was a musical!!
