Logy Nights

Later on in the day, after a field trip to the local planetarium, Jim meets a group of kids that are troublemakers and want to fight with him. As a conversation begins, music also begins in the background, yet quickly changes when the gang wants trouble. The music becomes fast, louder, and more suspenseful. The style of mickeymousing, "type of score [that] uses music as a literal equivalent to the image" (Giannetti, 231), was also used in this same scene. Jim and the character of Buzz are fighting each other with knives, and at every jab of the knife the music changes and becomes more dramatic and even more suspenseful. It is said that, "music can serve as a kind of overture to suggest the mood or spirit of the film as a whole" (Giannetti, 233). Later on, James Dean's character is asking his father for advice, and the music becomes quiet, slow and mysterious. Another scene where the score plays a vital role in the atmosphere is during an argument with Jim and his parents. Jim and his father are yelling, and when Jim grabs his father as if to hit him, the music turns scary and very intense.

As well as lighting, sound was used very effectively to stage the story. For example “echoes” were created in the alleyways, to make us think that Eddie’s house was a long way away. These echoes were also used to symbolise Eddie’s loneliness. This could show that there is emptiness in Eddie’s heart that can only be filled by a close friend or a brother. There was a bold use of sound especially in scary, dramatic or important scenes. This added to the drama of the overall performance, it made the audience feel a variety of emotions. In the scene when Mrs. Lyons tries to murder Mrs. Johnston, the sound affects really emphasised how Mrs. Lyons was feeling and her sheer madness. The use of surround sound made me feel like I was in the scene and it made the whole performance much more realistic.

Instead she holded up in her room, smoking meth, drinking [...] Eddie and his 12-year-old sister gabrielle, had no one to guide them”. Edde survived by seeking out new relationships with the motel manager and his cousin Jonathan Levario creating a fresh loving relationship that was not present within his own family even Jonathan later died of acute heroin and meth toxicity.

Imagine bottles of liquor and bags of cocaine and other drugs Eddie’s parents indulged themselves into satisfying their

His second stop is where he meets his commanding officer of his world war II platoon. Eddie remembers being held captive along with his captain and four others. He also was the one responsible for coming up with a plan for them to escape. After they did that the captain told them to burn the place they were held captive but eddie ran back because he thought he saw a young girl, but a bullet was shot and hit him right in the knee. He learned the importance of sacrifice from the captain who then says that that it was him who shot eddie. He says that he had to sacrifice his knee in order to save his life. The captain then reveals that he died because he stepped on a landmine getting Eddie to safety, meaning he also made sacrifice.One his way out he advises Eddie to let go of his anger. The third stop is where he sees a vision of his father. He had flashbacks of the abuse he suffered from the hands of his father when he was drunk.then he meets Ruby who’s husband is the founder of Ruby Pier which was named after her. She offers him a new way to look at his father’s death. Eddie believed that his father died because he made a decision while drunk to jump into the freezing water and caught pneumonia, but really he was trying to save his friend mickey’s life. Mickey tried to kill himself after Eddie’s father caught him assaulting

That one even becomes his own identity. As an teen age boy, Eddie produces more than young boy could do. He used his own cultural understanding to communication with people surround. Instead of oral language, the music become the platform for his “two selves”.

In Lurhman’s Strictly Ballroom and Mitchell’s It Follows, both directors use colour and music to enhance the experience of the romantic comedy and horror genre films. Where Mitchell uses audio and visual cues to break the conventional style of horror films in It Follows, Luhrman’s Strictly Ballroom uses audio and visual cues enhance the romantic comedy experience further. Where It Follows, relies on visuals to tell it’s story, Strictly Ballroom uses bright colors and musical cues to reassure the audience that the two main characters will end up together.

“Into the Great Wide open,” tells about the ups and downs of a young rockstar. It all started when Eddie finished high school and moved to Hollywood. He got a tattoo and met a girl who had a tattoo too. They both bought a place they could both afford and he also got a job working at the door at the nightclub. She taught Eddie how to play guitar. The papers said he wrote his songs from the heart

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.

An affectionate connection is established between Joe and Jerry towards Sugar Kane, and they are unable to concentrate on their performance. The music continues to play during this sequence in a diegetic manner but, as an instrumental takes place, the focus is shifted to Joe and Jerry’s attempts to remain ‘in character’ as women. The decision to shift the music from the focal point of the scene to background music is done to ensure there is no discontinuity, and the music serves as both the focal point and a prop at different times.

As the crowd begins to get riled up, Ross uses extreme close up shots of women’s faces with jaws open and men’s face with their eyes squinted. This is meant to convey the shock and distaste the mob feels toward Bill Johnson’s work. Finally, the mob cracks and a rock is thrown through the window. At this moment, the scene is shot in slow motion. This a camera technique used to make an already climactic moment even more dramatic. At the same time, nondiagetic classical music is cued in the background louder than the diagetic sounds of the film. This music is to make the audience feel sympathy for the diner and what it represents, the coloreds. The music is used in the same way as in any action film when a loved one to the main character tragically dies. As a finishing touch, the members of the mob have malicious smiles and urge on the destruction through clapping. The combination of the outrage and cynicism of the crowd with the slow motion and dramatic music creates a negative portrayal of the mob and a sympathetic connection to those being harmed, the coloreds, is developed.

Eddie chose to fit the stereotype to be a cold, distant man who resorted to aggression, violence, and drugs. At Exeter, Eddie assumed that he could not escape from people’s preconceptions, so instead of continuing his quest for a greater future, he gave up and chose to fit the image of how he thought everyone saw him. Eddie never let his guard down and frequently lied about his behavior back home, when “Eddie had fallen from his bicycle while riding through central park… when Eddie returned to Exeter sporting a big bandage and a nasty-looking wound, he informed his classmates he had been injured during a fight on the streets (119). His justification for this lie, he told his mother, was that falling off a bike was not as exciting as getting into a fight. Eddie was caught lying about a lot of his actions, including violent stories about his actions on campus.

Eddie wakes up inside a teapot from one of the rides at Ruby Pier from when he was a child, seventy-five years ago. He realizes that he feels much more limber and his leg does not ache like it used to. Here is where he meets the blue man, The Blue Man explains that the reason he feels young is because he was a child when they first met. The Blue Man explains that they are connected. When Eddie was a child he ran into the road after a ball that his brother had thrown, but in the midst of regaining the ball a man in a truck had to swerve to miss him. The man who swerved was The Blue Man and after he regained control he suffered from a heart attack that caused him to die. Eddie was deeply disturbed by the fact that he had caused The Blue Man’s death, but never the less understands that everyone is connected in some way. Eddie then discovers that he had attended The Blue Man’s funeral.

It is an underrated way to make you feel a certain way in the scene. We can hear a dark, opera type singing at the part when he is beat. When one hears this type of music being played in certain scenes, it shows a person’s dark side and gives the impression that one is ultimately the bad guy in the movie. Demonstrating violence is one of the most important factors in the film. An important part of the film that shows this, is when Elliott Ness is trying to catch the bookkeeper at the train station. It then turns into a shootout scene between the Mob and Ness. In this scene, at the beginning, slow motion was used to help convey the violence that was happening. When things are in slow motion, it helps to bring about the detail and gore that is unfolding before our eyes. After this, the shooting unfolds, and the slow-motion stops. Next, it was filmed with a wide screen which was effective for showing intricate movements, like this shoot out scene. Throughout this part, quick cuts were used to conveys that things are out of control and this brings out the intensity of the violence. All these techniques help show the violence that played out because of prohibition.

Gerald was voracious to hear everything about Oblivion and how his son’s music was progressing. He had once harbored dreams of being a rock musician himself. One of Gerald’s favorite forms of relaxation was to join the band for a beer in the evening. Alcohol was no longer a problem for David, now that he understood where his
