This scene is masterfully crafted as to it’s soundscape. The space caused by the soundscape through the element of movement in the scene flows smoothly with the orchestral music in the background as if in response the music in the background. A great example of this in the clip is when the orchestral music becomes dark and gristmill in response the skeletons hanging and Jack pays his respects to them. This also brings a subjective and emotional by causing tension through the minor chords played and the emotional pull that the idea of death causes. The time also plays a large factor in soundscape of this scene. The loudness of the scene escalates in the opening to create an epic opening for what is the protagonist of the film. Then the volume decreases as we see the dreary skeletons but then soon escalates as we come across the chaotic scene of the merchants and sailors on the docks working. The soundscape of this scene was a great intro for the protagonist and through it’s elements was also a great opening for an epic. Not only was the orchestral music beautifully placed with the scene but the little sounds such as waves crashing and jingling coins made a difference between what could have been overlooked by the music and what it is now, a great soundscape masterpiece.
