Music emotion
Several characteristics have been suggested that might influence the emotion of music. For example, according to one study (11)(12), major keys and rapid tempos cause happiness, whereas minor keys and slow tempos cause sadness, and rapid tempos together with dissonance cause fear. There is also a theory that dissonance sounds unpleasant to listeners across all cultures. Dissonance is to a certain degree culture-dependent, but also appears to be partly intrinsic to the music. Studies have shown that infants as young as 4 months old show negative reactions to dissonance. (3)(6)(9)

Reference of Documentary film
“Most documentaries that work well do so because they touch a chord with the audience. “
'It is important that while you are shooting the documentary, you shoot at least three times the footage you actually need. At the post production stage you do not want to run out of footage. Also pay attention to the video and sound quality. If you do not have a good camera, hire one. This may also turn out cheaper. While shooting the film, stick to basic shots. Avoid to many zooms and pans as it only makes the film look more amateur.”

Topic
“The topic should be such that the viewers are able to connect with it.”

“Consult a lot of books on the subject. If there have been documentaries made before on the same topic, watch them. Interview people, who you think have knowledge on your chosen topic. Explore, research and learn, before you start filmmaking.”

“They don’t seem to understand that documentary filmmaking is exactly like dramatic filmmaking. They need a story with some form of narrative or journey. They should have interesting characters, turning points, shifts in tone and pace, humour alongside darkness, a climax. They need to combine these elements with appropriate music, graphics, and imagery in a consistent and considered way. Above anything else, they need to understand there is a difference between an idea and a story, a story and a film. “
“Documentary filmmaking is more than simply coming up with a good “topic”, pointing the camera and hoping something interesting will happen. It is not a series of interviews with some “wallpaper” shots. Like all art forms, documentary is also a craft that must be tenaciously pursued and honed.”
“This motivating factor must be something beyond travelling the world, or a deeply misguided notion of glamour.”
