Relation of Music and Picture

German researcher Pauli (1976) proposed three basic categories of relation between film music and motion pictures.

1) Paraphrasing: The specific character of the music corresponds with the specific content of the picture, the effects are presumably additive.

2) Polarisation: The specific character of the music moves the ambiguous or indefinite content of the picture toward the the character of the music.

3) Counterpoint: The specific character of the music conveys irony or comments on the content of the picture in another way.

For an experiment where I am trying to shift the perception of a character through the use of music, Polarisation seems to fit best in how to attract a development through picture. I don't want for the music to speak alongside the image but for the music to speak for the image.
