The Beginning Of Coraline 

Not Music

Doll, Lullaby, Made Up Words Suggest What?

a. Small kids.

~

Quick Paragraph 

Pretend I already 'wrote/told' you about Coraline 

Plus you already know it's about Coraline.

Paragraph;

In the opening scene music is used effectively to create an atmosphere. For example, tempo, chords and dynamic's make it feel like a creepy lullaby. The tempo starts slow but gets faster which builds intensity. It is in the minor key, which makes it feel sad. This makes the audience think the film will be mysterious, scary and creepy.
