I Don T Do Sadness Play Analysis

In these two movies, the right music and visuals had to be chosen in order to get the ambiance Hawke and Branagh tried to obtain. Each director chose different music and images that were very visual and auditive for an audience’s appeal. In Hawke’s version, visuals of New York and Times Square were appealing to an audience. Modern music at the beginning of the film caught the interest of the younger generation. As well, close ups of Hamlet were revealing to an audience and it was easy to feel infatuated by the character’s nihilistic despair. Branagh’s version used supernatural and dark visuals of ghosts, statues, and castles to produce feelings of awe and fear. The scene of the ghost was quick and staggering, and it created an automatic feeling of anxiety and fear. As well, the traditional use of classical music did a skillful job of creating suspense. Both directors appealed to an audience by using music and visuals that created an ambiance the directors desperately

One would have to say that one of the most notable features of the film would have to be its soundtrack, which incorporates no music but only diegetic sound, from the preliminary noise of the river flowing under the bridge through the even louder sounds of the forthcoming American tanks to the quaking clamors of the ending battle scenes. A prodigious example of sound transpires within the middle of the film. It is when the boys are woken from their cots and called into combat; the sequence features electronically distorted sounds that together equally insinuate the boys’ disorientation as well as the disorientation of the viewers.

For example, the people filming the movie sometimes had the camera far away, which would then make the lines that the characters said harder to hear. If the camera was too close to a character's face, it was displeasing to look at, like when Johnny was in the hospital. Also, when watching the whole movie, it was hard to concentrate on the actual movie because I was too distracted on the voices to music ratio. Typically in a motion picture, the music is lowered enough so that the lines can be heard, while having it be loud enough for the audience to hear it, and bring the point across that it's an important moment to have that type of music. To give an example, in Ponyboy’s dream, it was very quite, then all of a sudden, extremely loud music and sounds erupted as I struggled to cover my ears, and I couldn’t pay attention to what was happening on screen because of all the piercing noise! Then, when Ponyboy woke up it was all normal volume that barely transitioned. There were a lot of other scenes that did the same exact thing, such as when Johnny went to back to his house and the volume of the parents fighting in the background almost cancelled out the other important lines and music. There are other problems than this particular one, some being no music at some points when it was most likely necessary to get the emotions that the characters were feeling across, or when the characters lines and volume were so quiet that you could barely to not hear them at all, or when the outside wind was so deafening to pay attention to anything else. It was somewhat comical to me every time one of these moments occurred, because it seems the creators didn’t care enough to fix

He had a lot of slow pauses that were caused by him just stopping to think and because this was genuinely a delicate subject for him to discuss. In addition, his delivery was very smooth and came off beyond humble. He did not feel the need to scream, shout or be dramatic he kept his body language very quiet and let his words do all the work. All these different things gave the message to the audience that he was truly grateful to be getting the award but that there was a bigger matter at hands and someone with more courage than him that had pushed him to be the best version of himself.

SALISBURY, N.C—The Catawba students really showed their talent this weekend. Not only did the Catawba Indians win both football and volleyball, but the music department also showed what they are made of. One of the performers was the Catawba soccer player and popular music major Eli Womble, with great performance.

In the article, “From Degrading to De-Grading”, by Alfie Kohn he discusses the harmful effects grades have on students. Kohn argues that there are better ways to assess students’ progress other than letter or numerical grades. Grades are a great concept but they tend to be more hurtful than helpful. Cheating can become a problem, students won’t take challenges, and they develop unhealthy competition between one another. There have been many studies conducted over the years that support Kohn’s argument.

The music interacts with dialogue in the film; the techno beat is, at times, accompanied by vocals, which correspond with not only what is happening in the scene, but also the internal diegetic dialogue—another important motif.

Along with background music, sound effects play more of a role on the way we feel than many moviegoers think, and "although the function of sound effects is primarily atmospheric, they can also be precise sources of meaning in film" (Giannetti, 225). When the

Tabitha Pyatt DPI #2 Media and Psychology Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq is a satire melodrama that is a modern-day adaptation of Aristophanes’ Greek comedy Lysistrata written in 411 BC. The film is about the nonstop bloodshed occurring in Southside Chicago and various women who decide to withhold physical affection, particularly sex, from their husbands and significant others

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.

The modernist style would have only distracted from the plot line instead of adding to it because of its emphasis on unresolved dissonance disorienting the average listener. The audience expects certain aspects of music to occur. They naturally desire to hear certain forms, harmonic rules and guidelines, or the tonal music their ears are accustomed to hearing. These ideas are still present in some cases, but with the absence of tonality and a larger focus on dissonance, the audience can have trouble devoting attention to the film itself. This causes modernist music to be jarring and distracting from the narrative, but that doesn’t mean it’s always avoided. In plot lines there are often villains who need to make the audience feel uncomfortable. Many times in both Hollywood’s past and present composers will pair the modernist style of dissonance and uneasy expression with that of an antagonist. This proves to be successful in making the viewers feel uneasy (Audissino 2014, 25-35).
