“The Mitchells vs the Machines” is an animated film that tells the adventure of the Mitchell family to save humanity from a technological revolt that seeks control of the world by machines.
The film shows us the moment when the robots begin to capture all the residents, especially when they go to the place where the Mitchells are, a scene that is set to music with a simple but effective arrangement to connect us with the uncertainty felt by the people who they see from the windows the fall of these machines. Basically “descending arpeggios in the following harmony:
| Em | % | C # m | % | Em | % | Gm | % | Am | % | N.C. |
It is worth highlighting the relationship of the first 2 chords (Em - C # m) that do not certify tonality, and by doing that creates the uncertainty that the work needs. Then, when returning to the first chord, Em is associated with the moment when people accept what they are seeing and are unconcerned (hence some start filming), a moment of tranquility that is again interrupted when the cell phone signal is lost, creating another situation. of uncertainty, and that’s when another chord (Gm) appears that is not related to the first (Em).
The images will reveal the reality of the robots’ intentions, and it is interesting that after Gm Am followed, as if preparing a musical cadence, but this does not close, since at that moment the robots break the window to attack the people. great work by mark mothersbaugh
