A

Contrasting use of music To confuse the viewers, to provoke them or to concentrate their attention, contrasting use of music is used. The score is outrageously antagonistic to the image. Example: a war scene is scored with cheery music.

Lesson 5 Polarising use of music Here, a neutral image or a rather uninteresting scene is thwarted by an exaggerated score. This use of music can produce a manipulating or ironic effect, depending on the context. Example: a politician comes into the picture, by underlining the scene with sinister music, the politician seems to be weird or ominous.
