Big Fish

Big Fish is a funfilled movie that includes many different types of stories and scenes which come alive in the music. When the father is born and he is sliding down the hallway Jazz-like music is playing as underscoring. Moving throughout the entirety of the film the use of a piano, and the strings is often heard, although there is some percusion and bass but they are not used as frequently as the other two. The strings tend to be softer but get deeper when there are intimate moments or when Edward is telling his stories. There is some micky mousing when the giant is walking out of the cave mimicking his footsteps and then when he thros a rock at Edward, it sounds like drums. Diegetic music is also used in this movie, for example when they have the parade for Edward giving him the key to the city right before he leaves, and also when he is dancing with all of the people, it almost sounds like a guitar is playing, possibly the bango. This movie has a lot of different variations of music yet the combination of the stories and the music in this film is what makes it so great.
