Purpose
The purpose of the music playing over this scene is the show Oliver's thought process. I see the music as reflecting how his brain is working, and thinking about the subject of bullying. the fast tempo shows that he has a fast thought process, and also that his is thinking deeply about the subject. This is shown when he gives the examples of the boy who did the turd in the playground, and the other boy who was stabbed in the back with compasses.
The music i also used in order to mark the transitions between Oliver's examples.
Elements
When Oliver is giving the examples, all of the music in in a high register, and the music tends to change between them. When he talks about the boy who did the turd, legato violins play in a high pitch. Then it changes to staccato flutes.
There are no bass instruments and there is a lack of percussion which gives the scene a soft comfortable setting to watch. The tempo of the music is andante (walking speed) to keep the scene comfortable.
Meaning
The music in this clip from 'Submarine' makes an impact on the audience. I think that it ultimately helps the audience to think hard about what Oliver says during the clip, and to realise that he has a definitive point to make. The calmness and the high register of the music gives your mind some space and time to think about these things.
