Stop The Season-Tube (1986)

Whenever something out of the ordinary or wild happened they would pan to a character in the film so you would see their reaction. A few examples of that is the scene in Devil’s Tower when the researcher/nasa people first saw the alien step out of his spaceship it was such a moment to finally make contact with the being they’ve been searching for. The look in everyone faces was so pure and raw. You really felt like you were seeing the alien to. It helped convey emotion that they felt after all the work they put in. When they panned over to Roy his eyes were lit up capturing the feeling that everything he dropped/abounded was worth it. He wanted answers for what happened and he got it in that moment. But then after that I was wondering where is Barry? Will he ever reunite with his mother? Until all of a sudden they spaceship opens and to add to dramatic affect all the people who’ve been abducted by aliens over the past years were exciting the ship in a slowed manner, the lighting was kind of dim so you couldn’t really make out who exactly was walking. This was done to make the moment intense more special when Barry and his mother reunited again solidifying all the madness they went through was worth

This example alludes to the fact that many different dances did not originate in America but gained a lot of recognition due to the famous people that put these moves on the map. The Tootsee Roll dance was also popular among the urban communities as well. According to Linda Hobbs in her article titled A History of Hip-Hop Dances Running Man it states “This dance is not just a movement of leg, they forget it’s an entire line dance too, equipped with commands, making it a former favorite for college parties” (Hobbs). Dances in the 90s were not just made for the enjoyment of those who did it, but they usually had a deeper meaning to it that sometimes tends to go overlooked in the dance industry. The Roger Rabbit was another dance that had a major groundbreak in the 90s. According to Kristyn Burtt it states “ The Roger Rabbit had originally originated in the 1980s, but had advanced into the 90s where it gained major popularity, the dance imitated the loose and floppy cartoon movements of the beloved character moving in a backwards direction” (Burtt). Another groundbreaking dance from the 90s was titled Kid ‘N

When choosing a song for the papers in this class, it’s always a difficult decision because I listen to such a variety of music and so many different genres of music and I love all of it so it is very hard to narrow it down to one song. But, one song I have been gravitating towards recently is “In Color” from the album That Lonesome Song by Jamey Johnson. It is a more mellow song and falls under the country genre, which is one of my favorite types of music. The time period of the song is between 1935 and 1943.

For this assignment I chose a song as my artifact, the solo debut song by Heidi Newfield. She is an American country music singer who was the lead singer of the group Trick Pony. The song, “Johnny & June”, was released in March of 2008 and peaked at #11 on the Hot Country Songs charts by late September. The song is classified as Traditional Country and is about the legendary love between the iconic American Country singer and song writer Johnny Cash and his wife of thirty-five years June Carter Cash. The reason I chose this song is that it is a perfect example of the way older popular culture imprints itself into newer media.

When I first browsed through the different topics on which we were to write essays on, I was ecstatic when I saw one about rock and roll. Once I started skimming through all the bands and artists I know and love, I knew there would be no problem writing this essay. I firmly believe that I was born in the wrong generation of music because I am a hardcore oldies junkie at heart. For this reason, the bands I have selected are as follows: The Beastie Boys, Fleetwood Mac, The Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, and The Righteous Brothers.

Another interesting use of camera cutting can be found in the in between scene where Cleo is roaming the streets of Paris. She is now becoming the one watching other people rather than being the one watched as she was in the beginning (probably because of her beauty and famous singer status). While she is watching the camera cuts between other people’s conversations and then while she is walking the camera is in essence her point of view. However during this walk, the people passing are watching her as well, thus proving that this is the transition time. The use of cutting between shots of her and shots of all these people passing her not only show this change in who is watching who, but also allows for a sense of time passing. Interspersed with these shots are images of people we have already met, the widow, the boyfriend, the piano player, as well as the images of a monkey resting on a clock and her wig resting on the mirror, these things conveying how the people who know her see her and how she sees herself. This is a genius montage because these two things represent the same thing, how people see her, how she sees people, and how she sees herself, and by interspersing them we see

I chose the unique song "Ol' Man River" performed by Paul Robeson. The way the intro has soft violins slowly leading into the introduction of the singer allows you the time to enjoy the musical aspects before focusing on the singer and the lyrics. To me, it seems very unique the way the song is sung in a low pitch as a bass through out the whole song. Also, the melodic contour is very wave like through out the song which keeps your attention on the manipulated high and low sounds. The tempo keeps you on edge through out the song by starting with a slow steady pace and speeding up throughout that later drops back to a slow and steady pace at the cadences. The music has a western style that I enjoy while also addressing a very important racial

If I were to categorize our dance into a genre I would label it as hip-hop, jazz. Since Justin Bieber is more of a pop artist, the beat is faster than a contemporary or ballet piece. The reason we chose this song was because the tempo was both fast and slow allowing us to incorporate more movements. The song begins with a slower beat and 50 seconds into the song speeds up immensely. This is where we change our tempo and range of movements.

It is very rare to see a genre rather than pop, rap, hip-hop, or country that seems to draw as much attention as this song once did.

I am not the person people ask to choose what song to listen to next. Rather, I am the person people try to avoid contact with when this question arises. My music taste centers around thought provoking and political songs from other decades. “The Logical Song” by Supertramp is a song that discusses how society and authority can transform individuals into senseless “vegetables”. I love connecting its verses to the objection of conformity and obedience that is featured in Ken Kesey’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It's Worth” is another one of my favorite songs. Similar to “The Logical Song”, it promotes the message of speaking one’s own thoughts and opposing established beliefs. As I love proactively voicing

The 80s was a decade that was loaded with pop culture. Pop culture nowadays exists the way it does because barriers that have been broken back then in the 1980s. Social norms have changed leading several celebrities to have certain styles. People also think differently of what things are today because of the way they were presented back in the 1980s. Today’s generations have been influenced by pop culture from ordinary people to celebrities. Singers that have influenced today were Michael Jackson, with his dancing and fashion, as well as Madonna with her sense of style and having a rebellious attitude. Whitney Houston also influence most contemporary

It’s hard to talk about music today without bringing up music from the eighties. Some of the artists today got their ideas and musical talent from watching their idols from that decade. For example, Usher credits his dancing and musical talent from Michael

The two songs I will be comparing are “Centuries,” by Fall out Boy and “21 Guns,” By Green day. I chose these songs, because I love the bands and even more importantly, I love their music. Not one song is the same, so I chose these songs to research so that I can better understand what I enjoy in a song and what interests me. I first found Fall Out Boy when listening to the radio. After that, I looked them up on YouTube and now they have become one of my favorite musical groups ever. I found out about Green Day while listening to a Pandora Station. I have been listening to these bands for around three years each and have been hooked on every song they release.

The first genre that I chose is a song that is called “lies greed misery” by linkin park. This song is about all the issues with people and all the lies and greed they have and the misery

a. In the 1980’s artists began to use music videos as a to spread Hip Hop.
