James Horner was the composer for the movie Avatar, and was sadly passed away in June 22, 2015 in a plane crash. He was born in August 14, 1953, in Los Angeles, California. Horner began the life of a musician at an early age of five years of age, and continued his practices at the Royal College of Music in London, England. He further continued his studies of music and received a bachelor's degree at USC and both a master’s degree and a Ph.D. at UCLA. Horner first breakthrough was when he composed music for the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in 1982, which lead to many opportunities such as working with the London Symphony Orchestra and James Cameron’s Titanic and Avatar movies. Other directors that he had worked with are George Lucas, …show more content…
First piece of music being evaluated is the main credit. However, the main music piece for the Avatar movie title is not at the beginning but rather at the end. In other words, the main title music is the end credit of the film. The only possible reason that came to mind after watching the movie as to why the main music of the movie is played at the credit along with showing the title of the film is to have the audience leaving the theater remembering the film. To feel attached to the film in believing that the planet Pandora is alive and real with its native people, Na’vi, and their aboriginal music. It also gives off the effect of leaving the theater happy and excited. In addition, it’s a possible method of hinting about a sequel for the film by ending the film with Jake waking up in his Na’vi body along with an intense drum based orchestral playing in the background in an aboriginal rhythm, which also adds in the effect for the switch between bodies. The year the film was set to take place was in 2154 on the planet of Pandora, but the music was not futuristic. It felt more in tune with nature like how the Na’vi people are to the land. It starts with the flute, with a soft and relaxing tune slowly building up. Then followed up with a heavy drum, giving off a feel that is fitting for the large humanoid Na’vi people as if they were to play the drums along with some sort of chant that feels fitting for Na’vi people.
There is no other place that would make me work this hard at everything I do, but now I know I could do it. Before being an MEHS student, I relied in only my grades, but getting those good grades with such simplicity was bringing me nowhere. After hearing about Mt. Edgecumbe I was scared that I could not make it up there. After two years of being a student there, I understand that succeeding at Mt. Edgecumbe is no simple task, but it could be done by someone who truly give it everything they have. Although this would be one of he most streaneus accomplishments I had ever achieved, I know I that I could do it if given the
The musical score can be important for setting an atmosphere of the film. The music can be influential in
The music throughout the film plays a big role in the way it is perceived and the overall tone and message. The directors and producers used background noise and music very wisely in order to convey the emotions of a scene. In the movie, it reaches a certain point where it almost looks as though things are looking up for education. It is when the documentary starts describing the “new acting chancellor of the district of columbia schools”, during this scene the makers want you to really pay attention and become almost shocked by this turn of events. However, they do not only grab your attention by the words and clips shown, but also by the loud, upbeat music that is suddenly played while she is being announced. Also, later in the movie they use this same
The music helped in elaborating this great film. As I mentioned in class different instruments helped create different moods for different scenes in the movie. We heard the cello and the violin to create sadness and remorse. The flute created eeriness and the trumpet created awareness. I thought these were instruments and tools that help make this film extraordinary.
Our team practice everyday for 2 hours and our record was 23-1. We were the first team ever to win in our age division to ever win for St.Mary’s. We had a hard time in the beginning of the season. One of our best players injured her knee. She was running towards the loose ball and her knee twisted. She was out for the rest of the season. Looking back on it made me better because I learned how hard you to to practice or try to achieve your goal.

As a black male who grew up in a low-income family in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and recently immigrated to the US, I am confident that I will significantly contribute to the diversity and education of the University of Colorado School of Medicine community. Through my unique perspectives, community awareness, and personal resilience I know that I will be a positive attribute the CUSOM and the communities it serves.
From the beginning of the film, the score was a peaceful piano piece that went along with the scenery. It was gentle and non-threatening. There is a flute, or other woodwind, that joins the piano, and this is when a car is seen driving by. Later strings join the ensemble and the music all continues to be soft. This reassured me that the movie would not be dark or overwhelming. The theme music and film’s focus on
“Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still." –Macbeth Act two, scene one. Guilt, insanity and the everlasting evil within human nature haunts Macbeth, William Shakespeare’s main character in his play Macbeth. From Shakespeare’s play, the themes and ideas have been interpreted on film as PBS and director Rupert Goold filmed “Macbeth” in their own ideas and interpretations.

Through Tim Burton’s films viewers are taken on a unique journey, to unimaginable places with peculiar characthers. All of Burton’s films are all different from each other, as well as from mainstream movies. However, all of his films follow a similar concept. The unimportance of fitting in is acheieved through Tim Burton’s unique cinematic styles. Tim Burton uses lighting techniques to acheive the unimportance of of fiiting in.
For most students, college is just the first of many big experiences in their life. Many students include college on their bucket lists. Bucket lists are a list of a number of experiences or achievements that they would like to accomplish within their lifetime.
The music by Bear Mccreary begins with an orchestra of instruments which starts off forte and decrescendos and crescendos in certain parts of the intro giving the audience a feeling of urgency, which is the feeling most of the show has. The music chosen is the perfect accompaniment to the slideshow of images and clips shown, because it gives the introduction just the right touch of eeriness and mystery that it needs to scare the audience but still captivate them at the same time. While this is a show about zombies and death with many gory scenes to prove it, the audience it attracts isn’t always people that like horror film, the show is intended to attract anyone who is curious enough to watch one episode, because once you’ve seen one episode of this show most people get hooked whether they like horror films or not. With its last season finale having more people watching than the number of people watching the NFL there are bound to be some scaredy-cats among all of those people.
This clearly explains the significance of music and the role that has in motion pictures. Music has to match the emotions that the actors are showing and the environment they are in. If fail to do so, the movie could be a dreadful thing to watch.
I am hard working, ambitious and creative. Many who know me say that I am super organized, very social and good at noticing details. I love to work with others as I see it as an opportunity to learn and to gain a new friend. I have acquired many leadership experiences from Key Club, STEM, Swim managing, band leadership, etc. Each of these experiences has taught me something different. For example, being the Boy’s Swim Team manager I learned how to work with a group of 70 teenage boys. Also, with all the extracurricular activities that I do, I am superb at managing my time. What I can contribute to Youth Council is all the knowledge that I have gained over the years through all the activities I do and fresh, new ideas.
