Fully synchronized sound was used in Steamboat Willie, which was the first film Mickey Mouse starred in. The music is used to set a certain mood in the film. For example, the main melody of the film is jolly and jovial, which presents a lighthearted tone. The music intensifies whenever there’s a strong action that’s occurring, such as an impact or a chase. The use of brass is prominent when portraying an intense action. The octave of the sound effects is also very important for showing character. Mickey uses higher octave sounds because of his smaller stature and playful nature, while Pete’s sounds are more beastly and lower octave.
