Im trying to describe how its conveys luxury life and happiness

Hey hey! You definitely don't need a full aural analysis of a film score for English - They don't expect English students to use HSC Music skills

That said, some things I'd throw in:

- It's in a major key, so like, good times! At least the bit immediately playing at that link - It shifts to minor pretty quickly.
- There's a nice crescendo there, could be seen to convey power and luxury?
- The brass instruments convey a sense of royalty

Hope it helps

Thanks Jamon! Its just that my assessment is heavily focused on the musical score since its a listening task!

Brutal!! A listening task for Metropolis? What even is that

Even still, you'll still be focusing on the conceptual. What I just gave you would be enough for a paragraph! EG:

The use of brass instruments in the score conveys a sense of royalty, a clear and effective choice by Lang to communicate the luxury of... blah blah blah.

Do that three times, stick an intro and a conclusion I find that analysing music for English tends to get too mechanical if you get into specific aural analysis. I'm not going to say you should waffle, but like, you're doing a listening task on Metropolis. They can't expect magic
