Hans Zimmer's Time From The Movie Inception

I found this piece very interesting; it tells a clear story, and has a dissonant accompanist which makes it sound stylistically similar to the music of musical theatre.

In the film Inception one follows Dominic Cobb who is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the vulnerable subconscious while the mind is in the dream state. Cobb's rare ability has landed him a job with a corporate espionage to try and earn his way back home after he has lost everything he has ever loved. This final job could give him his life back but only if he can complete the seemly impossible task of inception. Cobb and his team of highly trained architects and extractors have one chance to complete their task. Now instead of stealing an idea they must supplant a new one. Failure is not an option for Cobb and he has taken extra care to exclude information

Through the use of techniques and themes, a composer is able to create distinctively visual images when describing the setting and characters in detail which help us to understand and form meaning of what the composer is trying to convey in their texts. The use of techniques such as body language, symbolism, lighting, music and photographic background slides create distinctively visual images same with themes that are being used within the texts such as truth which is evident in the dramatic text ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ by John Misto, the song ‘Lose Yourself’ sang by Eminem, and the film ‘The Eye’ directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud featuring Jessica Alba. These three texts demonstrate how the responders are impacted and what is

In the first shot of scene one, we are introduced to the character Senor Love Daddy which begins with an ECU (extreme close up shot) of his mouth, along with the top of the microphone and his hand with is holding an alarm clock. The alarm clock (which is a prop) is making an extremely loud, irritating, ringing sound. This is done to grab our attention from the get-go by referencing the conflict within the film which can be to some the conflict slowly reframes as it is zooming out which is allowing us to see more of Senor Love Daddy’s face and the microphone. This entire introduction scene is shown with a hard-reddish light coloring, this coloring motif paired with the slow zoom is to show us how hot it is within the setting of the film.

The image effectively uses the strong contrast between light and dark lighting, a technique that is often used to heighten drama or tension around the subject.

In creating the world of the play, the collaborates did justice in bringing out the scenery that the piece is set in. However, the collaborators used the stage design, lighting and costumes also to reveal the internal thoughts of the performers. The use of light was huge, it seemed to rely much on templates that created scenes of rain, green pastures and night sky. Though attributing to the play scenery, the use of lighting also brought out the differing emotions Rosemary and Anthony felt. The presence of death and grief were also addressed properly through the use of light, such as when Anthony father went into a bright light, a symbol of the afterlife. It allowed the audience to focus on each performer pivotal lines, which created for further understanding of the

The way in which composers convey their ideas is dependent on their use of distinctive visuals. Amanda Lohrey’s “Vertigo”, Tim Burton’s “Edward Scissorhands” and Bruce Dawe’s “Homecoming” show how the composers use the distinctively visual concept to portray a greater understanding to the audience of the themes and ideas presented in their work.

Before entering the exhibition the viewer is introduced to an energetic video montage of all the works with a sound created by Kevin J. Simon. This fast pace hip-hop sounding song at first seems very out of place from the work, but after listening to it for some time you do hear

He wears this robe every Gathering. The robe has a blank spot where it hopes to be filled with historical memories by Kira. This scene, Lowry gives the reader a colorful presentation of how color gives what the song is telling life. The deep reds and golds bring the building to

Such as, when the show began there were a few moments of music with the lights blacked out. When the song was cut, the lights were switched on and the production began. This faint, yet dynamic lightwork left me impressed and wondering about the hours went into making it so precise. Further into the play, I noticed that the lights were fully lit in the centre where all the actors were. But on the sides, upstage left and center stage right, I noticed that it was more dimmed at those areas because it was not our main focus as an audience. For music, she used only two songs for the entire play. Creatively, they used a “radio” and their voices as their music. For sound effects, she used telephone rings, chimes and gunshots. Overall, even though Jacq did not focus too much on lighting and sounds, I find that she did a great job especially because she didn’t try to overdo it with just

The bright blue of Mary’s robes ensnare our gaze. This vibrant color contrasts with the neutral tones of browns, whites, greens, and reds. Combined these soft colors emanate a calm ambiance about the painting. The robes of the figures, the Madonna’s in particular are light, airy in a sense. Tri-tone gives a sense of real fabric, and of movement underneath that fabric. Tri-tone and shadowing go beyond the characters however. The architecture in the background expresses a realistic filtered light. We detect an opening in the building by the presence of the tops of trees in the background, and by the light that faintly falls on the face of Madonna. This gentle illumination, once again brings our attention to the faces of Madonna and Child. In comparison, the saints in company are not placed in such a light, figuratively and

For my fine arts event, I chose to see the Bryan Symphony Orchestra at Dogwood Park on September fourth. Their theme for the evening was “Music in the Movies”, and they played a variety of movie pieces, including music from Star Wars and The Dark Knight Rises. I have always loved the orchestra because I have always loved music, but combining music and movies together made me love this event in particular even more. Our orchestra here at Tennessee Tech is so beautiful and refined that it blew me away. I have never really played an instrument with a group, but I have actually sung in multiple choir groups over the years, and I know how much time and dedication goes

The flute solo blew me away. I have never in my life encounter such an excitable energy. It authentically intrigued me and I customarily do not aquire to the musical taste that is on the more classical side, but I was veraciously drawn by not just the overall quality of the sound, but how the piece just flowed beauteously and all the instruments meshed together, seamlessly. This piece, above all the others connected to me in some way. It made me cerebrate of times that I have had over summers in my life, of me driving either on my own or with my family to go to the beach and optically canvass the sunrise. It just reminds me of the placidness and tranquility that I had experienced. It seems to give me a sense of tranquility and avails me to elude all the stresses for just a brief moment in time as I fixate on each note and fixate on each instrument, and then the piece in its

The hanging of these string lights reflect off of the red decoration, making the giving the room a pink hue. Also, a lot of objects reflect the lighting (including wall hangings and jewelry), making the objects even more shiny. The lighting in the whore house is lowkey because although there are several lights hung throughout the whorehouse, the lighting gives a sexual ambiance. It is when Hushpuppy and her mother enter the kitchen that the lighting becomes highkey. Since the kitchen is the place filled with magic afterall, it makes since for it to contain the most light. Director of Photography, Ben Richardson, does a great job at creating turning the kitchen into a place of wonder. When Hushpuppy first sees Mama, it is when she walks out of the bright lights of the kitchen. The kitchen lights from this perspective looks similar to the bright white lights of heaven. Light represents security and truth. Also, when Hushpuppy is invited into the kitchen to watch Mama’s magic trick, the light of the kitchen reflects off of her face before entering. The key light source of this scene are the string lights that are hung throughout the common area of the whorehouse. The fill light and background lighting are made by other colorful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The effect of this lighting enhances the soft features of the women’s faces, their makeup, and white gowns. Richardson knew that this lowlighting would be suggestive and a great way for to portray a smoky
