The Sound of Music For my first paper, I decided to choose a film I had heard a lot about but had never seen, The Sound of Music. This film was released in 1965 and was an instant hit around the country. It broke the record for most box office hits of all time and it really brought out the light in musicals. It has a lot of significance in film history because it was one of the first major musicals. There had not been a lot of musicals before this film and with how successful this film was it paved the way for musicals to be more successful in the future.
The film starts off with Maria who is a young woman who is studying to become a nun. She is very full of life and free spirted and this rubs some of the nuns the wrong way. The head nun decides to send Maria to a retired Naval Captains house to be the governess for his seven children. She brings her high spirits to her new job as the governess. The captain’s wife passed away so he has been raising them by strict military discipline. There have been many governess’ before Maria but she is determined to stay. Maria soon wins the hearts of the children and eventually the Captain himself. She teaches the kids how to properly dance and sing. This really impresses the Captain. Maria soon finds out though that the captain is engaged to the baroness, so she returns to the nuns. While she is there she is miserable and the head nun tells her to go get her life back. When Maria returns, she wins the heart of the Captain and they

Sister Marie is called to a meeting in Paris regarding the convents pension. The nuns agree to send their blessed Infant King with Sister Marie to Paris in hopes to keep the King safe from all evil.

Sister Marie with the Infant King watches her sisters get martyred.
The paper I decided to do was on “Schindler’s List”. I have seen this movie four times and yet had not really noticed the many ways in which the director, Steven Spielberg, used the camera to emphasis a “million words”. It was interesting, when watching this film from this stand point, how I was able to see the importance of the way the director uses sounds and color to make some much significant points of a film.
Secondly I would like to write something of a quick summary so that the movie can be better understood. The movie begins as many do as of late with a man, or to be more specific a bachelor. Of course
The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.
because sexuality, politics, religion, and personal ethics are all part of life, some materials in
When deciding what movie to do for this particular paper I faced a few issues. I knew what the requirements were, but I wanted something different and something I could have fun watching and writing as well. So, after looking around and pondering movies for weeks I finally decided on a perfect choice The 60's directed by Mark Piznarski?

Discuss the diegetic music that occurs in Rick’s café: identify and discuss three moments, which you feel are, respectively, empathetic, anempathetic, and neutral with regard to the narrative.
What is the sound of music?Your initial response to this question would be the 1965 classic film,however Music is a concept of universality.But, what would i know about universality, i am 16 going on 17, but music is simple as do,rei,me.

Music is featured in many different things, such as films, novels, and television. Music also plays a role in the development of the magical beings from The Hobbit. In the novel the dwarves, elves, and goblins sing a musical tune. It sets the tone in the chapter they are in ,but it also has different content and structure.The reader meets the dwarves, elves ,and the goblin that reveals something about each creature.
The importance of music in movies is highly regarded for manipulating the viewer’s emotions and helping them immerse into the story. Music is one of the prime elements in cinema. Without it a movie would feel dull and unexciting. There are three elements in a movie: one is acting, the second is picture, and the third one is music. It is a holy trinity; if incomplete, there would be a lack of sensation and excitement. Both acting and picture can stand independently from one another, but music is the one that makes the movie memorable.
The film begins by showing Maria in an open and beautiful field. This gives her inspiration and a sense of adventure (based upon the images that images she sees). She works at an abbey and is continuing to face a number of difficulties. This is because Maria has the reputation for being mischievous and not following the practices of the nuns.
