Collection of Photos That Represent My Personality

As I am mostly a negative and pessimistic person, there are a lot of duller colored photos apart of the collection. They are some that have a sad theme to them as I am quite an emotional person. As well as that, there's a lot of photos that represent my outspoken personality and pictures of things I enjoy such as writing, reading, music, etc. There are also artists that have influenced my music taste that are a part of the list. Finally, I have also added things to do with my Arabian culture. These will also be converted into a video once I complete my melody. Although this is not the only selection of photos that will be a part of my video but this is the sort of theme that will be a part of it.





















Analysis

When listening to music, the instruments in particular, there is often a type of emotion they're trying to portray and send a message through the music they create. Examples are the emotion, anger, the composition will be loud and be chords and keys that give off angry sounds, they may play a chord in a way that is angry by pressing harder onto the keys if they're playing piano, the composition would also be of a fast pace. However, if they were trying to give off the emotion, sadness, then the composition would be slower and be played with minor keys softly if played on a piano. Comparing the two, there is a great contrast in speed, technique of playing and the notes used in the compositions. Also, when a song is sad this is what the composert intended for it to sound like so the way this it is performed portrays a sad emotion. In conclusions, composers write compositions to make us think of different characteristics by technique of playing, hard or soft, notes, minor or major, speed, fast or slow and at times, the instruments used, pianos are usually used for soft, more classical pieces whereas electric guitars would be for pieces that are loud and anger fuelled.
