What Is The Mood Of The Movie Night At The Museum

The adventure movie, Night at the Museum which was produced in 2006, evokes different emotions throughout the movie. The movie tells the story of Larry, an unemployed man who is forced to get a job at the national museum as a night guard for his son’s benefit. What he doesn’t know is that the museum comes to life at night due to an Egyptian stone which people are planning to steal so he comes together with the museums exhibits to stop them. In the movie, it becomes evident that the director was able to produce a scene that positions the audience to feel anticipated at the beginning of the scene and yet amused near the end due to the change in mood created throughout scene F, due to different techniques such as, music/sound, camera shots, and costumes/characters.
The scene starts off with low brass instruments creating intensity, giving the audience a feeling that a bad situation may occur. Yet when high pitched instruments are played, it invites a feeling of nervousness as it contrasts with the first pitch of music, creating more tension. The music was able to portray the little men attacking Larry as small with high pitched instruments emphasizing how inferior they may be as high pitched noises is usually associated with something small and inferior. Continuing through the scene, triumphant music is played as more brass instruments are added to give a sense of accomplishment towards the little men as they also chant loudly when they capture Larry. This positions the audience to feel anticipation which eventually turns into humour due to how the mini people portray Larry as being a giant and how accomplished they felt when they were able to capture
