As an inspirational themed film, audio will play a large role in creating a positive and uplifting theme. This means I will have to include a lot of non-diegetic sounds, such as inspirational music, or score. Including this will make the audience feel more involved with the film and allows them to further interpret the mood of what is going on. For example, a positive score can be included when the protagonist meets the old man, displaying to the audience the turn in mood, becoming more hopeful in the characters chances of not becoming grounded, upon finding his tutor.
The movie Titanic frequently interchanges between a positive and negative score, in the presence of positive and negative events. For example, a positive score is used when Rose saves Jack from the flooding room at the bottom of the sinking ship. A clearer example of this, which is diegetic though, is the violinists playing the song, "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as the Titanic finally sunk at the end of this movie. This technique exaggerates the significance and emotion felt as the ship is sinking. I will have to include a more positive and upbeat score in my film though, as it will have the same vibe as a "feel-good" genre of movies.
