Superheroe In The Incredibles

The two main components that hit home and made me feel a wide range of emotions during the film, “Waiting for Superman” are the different uses of logos and music. Logos is the use of statistics, which often made me either very somber or hopeful. Logos is helpful in the making of a film because it gives proof to the audience; instead of saying “test scores improved,” it would make the filmmaker sound more credible if he said “children’s average test scores in math and reading in Kipp Schools jumped from the forty-sixth percentile to the eighty-fourth percentile.” Music is not just in the form of songs; but everywhere you go. Throughout the documentary, a variety of different music choices were played to express the energy in that certain scene. Music is often thought of as a universal language, a language that can build suspense or create a sense of hopefulness or utter despair. It adds the extra potency necessary for ensuring that the audience is not only fully engaged, but also enthralled throughout the film. Guggenheim utilizes logos and music extremely effectively in his documentary as they impel the audience to experience a variety of emotions.

The orchestra is punctuated by occasional quick, loud harp glissandi which become more prominent and varied as the orchestra falls to mezzo piano. As the piece comes to a close it grows to fortissimo and finishes with a literal bang, or rather several, from the percussion section. I believe one of the intended purposes of this song is to set an unsettling atmosphere that adds to the movie's awe-factor, however I found it chilling in an unpleasant way.

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

He is able to use these parts to manipulate the audience’s emotions. The music playing from the car is an on-screen sound. As the man gets attacked, the volume increases. The sound helps intensify the scene that has been created by the film’s visual elements. The audience then subconsciously forms ideas, opinions, and feelings about what they are seeing. The viewers develop scared feelings as the scene intensifies to the happy upbeat tune. The increasing volume of the cheery song reflects the violence and the sinisterness of the scene. The song stops with the slamming of the car’s driver-side door as the man is abducted. There is a moment of silence and then a new song abruptly entered the silent scene. The music is non-diegetic and is an offscreen sound. The song is screechy, high pitched, and jagged sounding at first, continuing the anxious and scared mood. The song shifts into a sort of soulful hymn. The tone shifts along with the song. The audience begins to feel relieved and relaxes to the peaceful song.

Music plays a critical role in the narrative films as it is important technique that filmmakers use to support the narrative and influence the way that the viewer interacts, responds and interprets the events as they unfold. The godfather, which is one of all time Hollywood movies, represents a good use of music that succeeded in supporting the dramatic events that take place in the movie. Moreover, both diegetic and non-diegetic music in the godfather movie are used to achieve the overall purpose by using the different principles and functions of film music that range from setting the mood of the viewer to providing continuity within the movie. In this essay, we will take part of the godfather movie in which we can observe and analyse the

All things considered, in Waiting for Superman, Davis Guggenheim executes an outstanding documentary achieving the message of the need for an immediate change in the school system by displaying facts supported by the sorrowful soundtrack and proper pace. Just like how there is “an app for everything”, the same could be applied to music. Guggenheim explored a topic that is genuinely upsetting, so an upbeat soundtrack would not get the message to the audience for the desperate need of change in the educational system. The pace puts everything together so the audience could fully apprehend the content with a leisurely pace or keep the audience interested with swift clips.

The audio although normally overpowered by the visual aspect played a key role in defining and empowering the movie. The music was fast and uplifting during celebration and on

     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.

The right sound had to influence the way each scene was taken. If there was cheerful and lighthearted music, then you would think there was a prime, pleasant scene like when everyone is having a good time. On the other hand, if the music was depressing and dramatic, then you would think that something bad is going to or is happening. I think that the music did an excellent job at determining the mood of the scenes.

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 believe we as a society are intrigued with shows like Dexter because they allow us a temporary escape from reality. A reality in which we witness injustices occur in our court systems such as a legal loop hole allowing a guilty person to essentially walk free and justice not being served for the victim. I will attempt to explain why these characters are thriving as pop culture icons.

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.

The Incredibles is a film about heroism. Walt Disney Pictures released The Incredibles in 2006. The film is about a superhero family who all have super powers. The government of Municiberg are rolling out a new program which is “relocation of super hero’s” this is because the town of Municiberg are sick of super hero’s always beaning there to save them when something is wrong. The family The Incredibles are finding it extremely hard to stop using their super powers, but are trying very hard to stop. There super powers are Elasta Girls whop can stretch as far as she can, Mr Incredible who can do everything, violet who can be invisible and dash that can run very fast that no one can keep up with him.

The Hero’s Journey is an important concept, it is the template upon which a vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbuster are based upon. Being able to analyze, understand and deconstruct the different capacities undertaken by the Hero is essential. The Hero’s Journey is a cycle made of super structures/steps which consists of both linkages and connections. It is composed of a beginning and an end, which ultimately are the same. This full cycle is attained through periods of loss and gain (hardship) which in turn are subdivided into different sections, composed of micro mini stages which together act as stepping stones leading the hero full circle back to the beginning.

Superhero movies have been on the rise lately. These movies are often looked at as entertainment for people who play Dungeons and Dragons and are simply mindless pleasure; however, this is not the case. The reason behind the popularity of superhero movies is more than just the want of the common comic book reader. The superhero movie industry has made a sharp incline in popularity; in fact there are more superhero movies now than ever before. A website called Fights, Tights and Movie Nights listed all of the superhero movies made since the 1980’s by year and these were their findings. In the 1980’s an average of three to four super movies came out a year. In the 1990’s these movies were made on average five to six times per year. In the 2000’s the movies doubled to 12-13 produced on average each year. Today, 2010’s, the average number of superhero movies has again doubled in size with it now resting at twenty-two to twenty-three superhero movies made on average each year. The drastic increase of the number of superhero movies leaves the average movie attendee wondering why they are seeing this spike of superhero movies. The increase of superhero movies can be contributed to a few key factors: the advances of technology in the movie industry, the movie genre’s adaption to be socially relevant, and the characters now possessing more humanistic qualities (Fights…).
