Analysis Of Like A Dog Chasing Car By Hans Zimmer

The same applies to a dramatic scene where the music may be deep and frantic to convey to the audience the feeling of anticipation. A scene i would like to focus on is the scene in which Garry and his father have a final ‘showdown’, if you will, at the front of the house. The scene consists of the father imposing himself on Garry and proceeding to continually beat him down time after time only for Garry to rise up and face his father on each occasion. This scene evoked a feeling of pride and admiration from the audience as to Garry’s courage and determination to convey the message to his father that he is ready to stand on his own two feet and defy him. This is a very powerful scene within the movie which initiated powerful emotions within the audience. All of this was accomplished with the notable absence of music of any form. The omission of music in this scene created an atmosphere in which the dramatic affect was amplified due to the silence.

The next piece, Zion’s Walls by Aaron Copland, was a mid-tempo spiritual that seemed to continue the story from Wedding Cantata. I appreciated the lively piano accompaniment. The theme was compelling and I liked the short round in the

It is truly difficult to isolate a dominating theme or melody from part B. In fact, italmost sounds as if Beethoven is wordpainting the act of composing music, of throughrecycling rhythmic, melodic, and contrapuntal ideas. For example, the rhythm in this section is composed of sets of patterns of long and short notes. B_1 starts of with ‘- ‘-,where ‘ represents a short note and – a long note. B_2 becomes -‘’ -‘’, and then

Many young people are affected in some way by suicide, and must learn to cope with the horrible loss it has taken from them. “Dogrib Midnight Runners”, by Van Camp, “was inspired by a suicide. As far as [he knew, that was] the first published story that ever takes place in Fort Smith. And [Van Camp wanted] to talk about what a great thief suicide is: the huge, never-ending echo of its fatal decision” (Vranckx). In this short story, a group of friends are faced with their friend, Justin, committing suicide for no clear reason. Justin was remembered as an intelligent, fun individual and appeared happy. The reason why Justin committed suicide was unclear. One particular humorous, happy memory his friends had of him was that when he drank too much, he would take off all his clothes and run. In Richard Van Camp’s short story, “Dogrib Midnight Runners”, the “ritual of running” is so important to healing and rebirth because it allows the group of friends to cope with the loss of their friend while rebuilding a meaningful friendship and support system they had lost during the tragedy.

John “Crash” Coogan is the typical jock; he lives in Pennsylvania and is starting his second year of middle school as a 7th grader. I thought the main theme of the book is don’t judge a book by its cover. At least what most of us have in mind as a jock? Crash had always picked on his neighbor Penn Webb because of his choices and his lifestyle until later he realized something about Penn that he was his meant- to- be best friend. Crash has a wonderful life, until life deals him a hand that he could not have expected. When Crash 's grandfather unexpectedly has a stroke, Crash instinctively steps back and re-evaluates his life without even realizing he 's doing it. Suddenly, his cool friend, Mike doesn’t seem so cool anymore. Things that

In the first song the text is reminiscent of earlier days in May, and the protagonist declares his love for a particular woman. Schumann’s ambiguous key structure gives the listener a feel that the piece never settles. Aus meinen Träuen spiressen the protagonist continues to profess his love and shows a little frustration in the phrase und meine Seufzwer warden ein Nachtigallenchor (And my sighs will be a nightingale choir). Schumann’s tonality begins to stabilize during this movement, provided by a simple chordal accompaniment allowing the vocal line to show and express the feelings of the text. The third movement relates the woman figure to beautiful images in nature such as the rose, the lily, the dove and the sun and finally professes that she is the one. The first three movements of this cycle set the initial tone and illustrate the protagonist’s love for this

In the movie Cars, by John Lasseter, Lightning McQueen goes through a very large personal change or healing process throughout the movie. This movie is more of a healing myth because, In the beginning, he is a very stuck up and self centered character that only cares about winning. By the end, he has turned to a more humble character that has a better view on the truly important things in life. In other words, at the beginning he is broken and must go and truly see the finer things in life and find himself before he can succeed. There are a few different things that change his attitude. One thing is the people that he meets in Radiator Springs. Second, is the general life of the town that he has to accommodate to. Linda Seger describes a healing myth as one where “a character is ‘broken’ and must leave home to become whole again”. That statement describes this movie in so many ways. Lightning McQueen leaves his ”home” which is represented by his life on the racing circuit, and goes on a journey where he becomes whole again before he can return home.

Roald Dahl is well known as a children's author that wrote whimsical stories and created amazing fictional worlds. Some people may never think about the fact that before writing many of his great pieces, Roald Dahl actually wrote many short stories that were influenced by his traumatic and intriguing childhood; most of these stories were not as child-friendly as one might imagine. One of the most prominent examples would be in his story “Beware of the Dog”. In this story, there is a man that is in the air force who is fighting in World War 2 and lost a leg in a plane crash, due to being shot down. In the short story, “He throttled back, pulled off his helmet, undid his straps, and pushed the stick hard over to the left. The Spitfire

The PBS article on film adaption discusses the challenges of adapting a novel into film and the changes film makers may need to make. There are many differences between the two due to their prepositional setups. This can cause key factors of a novel to be lost once transferred into a film. This includes a narrator, personal attachments with the characters, engaging your imagination and possibly even scenes due to the time limitation a film has(PBS). However, when a director takes on this challenge they’re able to alter the novel and fix any faults they see. They also must make many attempts to successfully convey the protagonist’s emotions through other tools with actions or visual aids. This results in the director's

Why do we need a purpose for writing a book? For example the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner? An Author Purpose is the reason an author decides to write about a specific topic. James Dashner who wrote the novel The Maze Runner was trying to inform us, Sense of hope and to entertain his readers by studying their brain patterns. They were trying to figure out how the brain patterns of a non-immune.

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein is a philosophical novel told from the point of view of a dog. Through the absurdist persona assumed by the author, the author attempts to shed light on the larger human condition. The book is told from the point of view of Enzo, a supremely intelligent animal. Enzo dreams of becoming a human race car driver like his owner, Denny Smith, in his next lifetime. "The race is long. It is better to drive within oneself and finish the race behind the other than it is to drive too hard and crash" (Stein 291). However, although Enzo regrets the fact that he has been born a dog and longs to be reborn in his next life into human form, the novel suggests that the mute wisdom of dogs is often more compassionate and intelligent than the supposed civilized conduct of humans.

To explain, the song I chose describes how I imagine Rudy felt as he bolted down the track: boundless, victorious, and indestructible. This

The movie scene chosen to represent my song is a scene in “Annie” called “Little Girls.” This scene was made to show the misery and frustration of one character, Miss Hannigan, living with and fostering a group of little girls. The song starts as a moderate speed, in a spooky mood, so that is why I decided to add many flat keys into my composition. I also made my composition in a minor key (G minor) for the same reason. The speed starts to accelerate a bit with more staccatos and the scene tends to be more enthusiastic and powerful. This is why I decided to add notes forming intervals or triads with a happier mood and I incorporated more ties throughout that part. After that part, it repeats the first section, so I returned to adding a spookier

A Look into Different Interpretations of the First Movement of Moonlight Sonata: The Piece that Portrays an Assortment of Emotions

I chose to start my first song, Like a Dog Chasing Cars by Hans Zimmer from the very beginning and at 1:50:53 in the movie/ where he says “hang him from the bridge”. I feel like this scene had an astonishing amount of tension and suspense. Rob Roy was fighting for his life and as can be seen in the movie was willing to do anything to get away. In the song I chose it starts out soft but has a crescendo as the music continues. I thought this fit with the scene very well, because at first when Rob Roy jumps off the bridge it is more surprising than suspenseful, but then as the scene continues it becomes more stressful. In Like a Dog Chasing Cars there is an overall minor tone to the whole piece. Throughout the whole piece there is both a crescendo and accelerando which makes a building feeling. The building feeling is finally almost released when I end the piece and the soldiers walk away from Rob Roy. There is a recurring melody and steady background beat also helps pace the piece. The background for the most part is also very staccato while the overlapping pitches are legato. Also, near where I’m ending it there is a new sense of hopefulness, because the pitch of the notes is raised a little bit. Also, I think there might be a keychain to add to this new light tone. The hope connects to the movie, because there is hope that Rob Roy might actually escape. The music ends when the soldiers walk away from Rob Roy.
