Hans Zimmer

Music Analysis

Hans Zimmer



What was Hans Zimmer's intention when making this soundtrack?

He wanted to create a sound for the joker which would be able to let the audience recognize that the joker is going to enter the scene which draws the audiences attention. 

What qualities did Hans Zimmer want the music to have?

The qualities that Hans Zimmer wanted was sounds which people would find terrifying like 'a string that is being stretched but doesn't break' as he said in the documentary. He also wanted the entrance of the joker to be filthy or untidy to show that the villain is entering and will cause some problems.

I think that the final score worked well as it linked in perfectly with the character personality of joker as he is very frightening. This is matched by the cello sound created as its sound creates tension for the audience as they know the joker will arrive. Without soundtrack for thriller, there is no sense of tension as there is no clue to what will happen next and doesn't excite the audience.
