Ladies and gentleman, the film Australian Rules is simply impossible to overlook as Australia’s entry into the international film everything that a proper ‘Australian’ film should, drama, romance, action and deceit. It portrays cultural differences that create segregation between the fabrics of society in a town that doesn’t possess the capacity to co-exist which is evident in urbanized Australia.
My name is ______, and I am taking it upon myself today to tell you, the good people of the Australian Film Board that ‘Australian Rules’ is capable of earning great accolade at the international film competition and doing Australia great favours in the eyes of the international film community.
The director, Paul Goldman, has achieved what he

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 use of symbolism is clearly evident throughout the film. From the contrast of the colours on the team’s uniform which many believe to be a hidden symbol of ‘unity’ as such, to the final scene of the movie which entails Garry and Clarence swimming in the ocean in what appears to be a yin-yan formation. One notable use of symbolism in the film is that of the ‘fruit and nut’ bar. This symbolises the fathers role in the family, as something simple as a bar of
The idea of a friendly Australian neighbourhood and welcoming community adds to our Australian culture, national identity, and values. ‘Neighbours’ is set Ramsay Street, a residential neighbourhood in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough. The show fosters ideas of mate ship’, ‘fair go’ and ‘egalitarianism’, through community involvement, support networks and sense of social connection. The neighbours are your typical ‘Aussie fair dink um’ bloke, socialising over a ‘shrimp on the barbie’, enjoying the friendly company of their neighbours and bonding over a game of ‘outdoor cricket’. An example of these Australian traits of ‘mate ship’, ‘fair go’ and ‘equality’, is shown in the ‘Australia Day’ episode. The neighbours celebrated our
For example, in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton uses non-diegetic music to point out emotions of the children when they are loose in the eatable room. By using music, Burton shows the children’s thoughts and emotion. Burton lets the viewer absorb a deeper understanding of each character. This also lets the viewer experience the candy room through each of the children perspective which creates a connection between the character and the viewers. Tim Burton also uses music and sound in the film Edward Scissorhands. When Peg makes her way into the garden of the mansion, Peg sees green and well design bushes of objects in the garden. This scene is companied by sounds of bells and strong presence of strings incorporated. These elements gives the viewer a childlike and romantic feeling. The music and sound playing the background can make the viewer feel warm in the inside and see Peg isn’t in danger. It can also make the reader why the garden is so nice and bright and the mansion looks dark and
The intention of “Perth, Perth edge of the earth’ was to illuminate and explore some major issues current in Australian drama, through styles and themes popular in Australian theater( as outlined throughout the semester).
Music can serve several purposes of helping or enhancing the emotional side of storytelling to the movie and other important functions.
The musical scripts are usually indefinite, thus music not being treated in the same way and potentially an outsider. Almost indispensable despite music currently playing a major part in film to 'make use' of the silent scenes, for example a scene where the character is waiting for someone, no dialogue will be used and the only sound we can hear will be diegetic noises of his surrounding. This is a prime example of the use of non-diegetic music. The character could be waiting for a partner (therefore romantic music will be played over the top). Without the use of music the scene would be more realistic (we don't hear music when we are waiting for a partner) but the scene would not captivate the viewer and potentially make the viewer lose interest.
The Australian film festival is a celebration of what it means to be Australian. Much like our strong beliefs and fierce ideologies, our films reflect current Aussie ideals and values.
Another thing the movie does well is their choice of when to play background music. Whenever an event or something leading up to the climax is about to occur suspenseful music. This indicated something important or unfortunate was about to happen when. This helped everything seem dramatic and kept viewers on the edge while they waited for something to happen.
Teaser: An Aussie finds himself at the center of international attention, after a video of him punching a kangaroo to save his dog 'Max' goes viral.
In this film, the music build up and sometimes is the voice of the actors and actresses. As the music speeds up, your heart starts to skip a beat and as the music slows down your heart because steady. The sound of this film is not just the music, but the noise of the door opening, the crunch of her bite that makes the audience cringe, and the noise of everything falling down as the father is thrown back on the bed (lamps, the door shaking, the click of the lock etc.). This all adds up in a film. The director chose to use something different to make the music, he chose to use the props in the scene to make the majority of the music and just have a base in the background. These special elements give the audience a response and make the viewers’ want to continue watching.
Australian is the land the rules and regulations. I don’t think I have ever lived in country that is so highly regulated like this one. Australian has about seven states and they all govern themselves thus they have their own laws that maybe different from other states. The Australian government, state and territory government legislation exists to protect businesses, consumers, individuals, the environment and the community. This enables a conducive environment for business to flourish as well as to promote fair-trading and competition. One would ask why should governments spend enough time putting place such regulations. This is because without laws to govern how businesses operate and interact with their suppliers, customers and fellow businesses, there will be chaos every well and it would be each man for himself and God for us all. Thus, regulations stipulate what can and cannot be done in the business environment and what can be done when conflict arises. For example, If Mangoes for Charity promised customers that it would refund them up to $20 if they bought 3 boxes and referred at least three new customers to buy mangoes. If this company breached such an arrangement then, the Australian Consumer law would provide a service by protecting the consumer’s right. Thus, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission could argue in favour of the consumer that the business misled customers when it informed them that they had no cooling off rights. It was not explained to
A simple piece of instrumental music was chosen, as it was presumed that music with lyrics would detract from the scene as well as compete with the dialogue. The music was placed on the timeline in all parts of the edit, bar the scene in which ocean scene, where ‘Sophie’ is contemplating then rescuing the helpless boy. Music was not used in this part of the sequence to allow the audience to feel the seriousness of the situation at hand, as well as Sophie’s panic in the water. The lack of music exuded the realism of the scene that did not need to be dramatized any more. However the music that was placed in the surrounding scenes was placed on the timeline with fades used when necessary to ensure the music entered and exited seamlessly, to seem natural and cohesive with the scenes. The audio levels of the music were also adjusted throughout the edit using the audio mixer and key frames to cohesively mix with foley, dialogue and
I will first address the impact of music and sound effect in a movie. A movie is typically only 2 to 3 hours long; and so with every frame, filmmakers and videographers are trying to convey a specific emotion. From the characters’ outfit to the lighting and the location, these are very carefully thought out. And music is among the most critical point, certainly a very powerful one also.
If the context of the film were different, the acting in “Sound of Music” may be considered bad. The characters were too overly expressive and every movement seemed coordinated. It did not seem very natural. However, I think that within the framework of this particular film, the exaggeration in behavior brought light to the movie. In this way, the emotions of the characters resonated with the audience. When the children were scared of the thunder, you could see the fear in both their facial expressions and body language. When they were happily singing in the meadow, you could feel their joy. I think that the incorporation of music really helped to evoke these emotions as
Accounting for Business Combinations and its relevant issues under the requirements of Australian standards have raised a considerable number of concerns, and therefore remained controversial for both accountants and scholars who have been struggling to deal with the practical – and – theoretical development of the Accounting industry. Regardless of such difficulties, due to the undeniable meaning of Accounting practices and the enormity of transactions involved on a daily basis, it is of great importance to research, study and understand the application of Business combination Accounting according to Australian requirements.
Nowadays, several films are released in a day. In that movie, music always attaches in movies. Sometimes, music which is inserted to a specific scene is more popular than the movie. Music is inseparable from movies. If music does not exist in a movie, it might be monotonous. After a movie finished, people say. “What comes to mind now, music has just been inserted into the climax scene!” In general, music is effectively used to reveal overall atmosphere of the film or emotions of characters. In this regard, music tends to be overestimated in movies. Some people blindly believe that music must reveal all aspects in a movie. If music is not inserted to movie, most people think that it will flop at the box office. In spite of many functions of music in movies, however, it is not a certain genre in a musical world. Music is more than a simple means of delivering such elements. Moreover, Music that is inserted into films; it is just a mere ‘film music’, it cannot be recognized as a genre with new properties. Music in movies should not destroy the essence of music.
