Music and Sound in Sport Films

In sport films, there are, typically, similar sounds and music used across all of them. Examples include the build up to the big event, during the title of the films, the big event(especially in at the critical stage), end of the game, when a prize is given and the celebrations. I have a number of clips in which each number below is a brief description of the clips in chronological order.

1.  This iconic music from Rocky is a very well-known song in which he trains and builds up to be bigger and stronger than ever before!
2.  The next piece of music is called Vangelis, also an iconic song from the film Chariot of fire which is a very commonly known song but was used for the theme tune of this particular film.
3. The third clip is a scene from Youngblood which demonstrates sheer drive and competitiveness as players begin to player very aggressively due to them wanting to win so much, the song in this is called stand in the fire.
4. This fourth scene is a demonstration of sounds and music. The sound in the background is diluted and therefore, softer than what the actual sound would have been. This shows pressure in the game and emphasises the importance of this particular shot. After they win, there is a break out of positive music to bring a buzz to the film. This will engage the viewer to feel good just like the players on the winning team.
5. The fifth clip from When the Game Stands Tall has music edited in a way that the viewer feels the adrenaline that the rest of the team feels and makes the film more immersive.
6. The sixth clip is from Game Plan. Dwayne Johnson had finally accepted both Ballet and American football all for his daughter. They both show progression in their relationship and proves to drive their game to be stronger. The song Mr. Blue Sky brings a positive vibe to this scene.
7. The final clip is from Karate Kid and brings both the adrenaline of the big occasion as well as the 'never say never' inspiration to the scene to demonstrate how far he has come and how he cannot throw it away after all his hard work. At the end, the sound of the screaming and shouting crowd show a clear sign of accomplishment.
