On the evening of October 1, 2017, a mass shooter, later identified as sixty-four-year-old Stephen Paddock of Nevada, opened fire on guests at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas.

Within the musical film genre, the use of music is essential to the film narrative and plot structure. Many of the classic musicals, like Singin’ in the Rain, use this use of musical numbers to not only further the plot but also the individual character narrative. With this integration of music, these musicals are typically referred to as integrated musicals. This integration is usually expressed through a scene within a scene setting (ie. Make em’ Laugh sequence in Singin’ in the Rain) Pennies…

The first piece the band performed was called Strike Up the Band, composed by George Gershwin. It…

Music is a large influence in his work, along with other art forms such as poetry and dance. In one interview he stated that his work has been influenced most by teaching moments he’s gained from experiences with these art forms. Pierce captures a…

isa Jackson’s Savage manages to say a lot without having any dialogue. Between the music and images, the message comes to its fullest fruition. One thing that really adds to the effect of the whole video is the color scheme used. In certain scenes, color is either muted or focused on in accordance to what is happening to the characters in the short film and its overlying message. This serves to amplify the horrific changes the boarding schools made to the kids and their heritage. The film…

Anteliffe’s historical analysis, my own understanding of this work has been improved from shallow to deep understanding. My personal understanding has developed to such a complex level that I now perceives Mozart’s emotion that is represented through his music by having a knowledge of Mozart’s circumstances at that period. Anteliffe’s detailed analysis of Mozart’s conflicts and difficult circumstances shows Mozart’s mood of agitation and confusion which clearly represented through this…
