        This particular scene in the movie "Big Fish" displays many techniques of sound. when the scene starts, Sandra Templeton is asleep but is awoken by the smell of her favorite flower, a daffodil. As her eyes open, music starts to play, the music is a light free violin melody. Speed of music is slower, however when Sandra approaches the window to see what's outside the music's speed and urgency increases when she flings open the window, as well as the loudness. This increase in speed and loudness intensifies the moment for the audience. Movement of sound is also shown in this particular moment because as the window is swinging and moving the sound is getting louder. The tonal center is also being created because the movement of the sound and the movement of the window are in sync. When Sandra goes down to meet Edward the sounds of birds chirping in the background is an example of distance. Although the audience is unable to see the birds we know the birds are up in the sky chirping, creating the outside space.
