Turning Points for Characters

I chose the scene in Mamma Mia 2 where Donna is frolicking around then she goes back inside and finds out that Sam, her lover, is engaged, and she is basically the other woman. I used two emotions for this video. The first emotion is bliss because Donna is enjoying herself outdoors and in love, then it turns into betrayal/heartbreak when she finds out the truth about Sam. I used major and minor scales as well as different types of instruments and beats to convey these emotions. In class, we learned a lot about how different keys and instruments contribute to the emotion conveyed, so I tried to use what we learned. My process for creating this piece was firstly watching the scene to get a sense of what music I wanted. Of course, I had the song she sings in that scene stuck in my head, so I had to try to find a new sound. While watching the part where she is outside swinging her skirt around, I was reminded of Lorde's album 'Solar Power', so I listened to some songs for that to try to find sounds/instruments to incorporate in my piece. I used more acoustic sounding guitars as well as drums which were inspired by Solar Power. I then created my own line for the piano part. Then for the end, I just wanted to keep it simple with a single guitar track,  since it's a sad scene that didn't need too much music to accompany it. I really liked creating this piece and how it turned out. I'm really proud of how I timed everything and how all the tracks sound together!
