Chazelle depicts Andrew’s intensity through quick camera movements including dolly shots, tracking shots, quick panning that makes the viewer feel they are in the scene with him watching Andrew’s performance. The level of intensity in the cinematography reflects the pure devotion that Andrew has. Chazelle also gives us the audience’s perspective in the theatre showing how the audience’s focus is purely on Andrew. Most of the shots are close up or extreme close ups as the focus is on Andrew, the drums and Fletcher. Chazelle said that he shot the movie as if it was a thriller with suspenseful film techniques such as quick montages of close ups. Alfred Hitchcock, one of the world’s greatest directors states “montages should be impressionistic” meaning that the scene should leave out bits and pieces for the imagination of the audience to fill in the gaps. The audience’s imagination makes the scene far bigger then what is being…

origin. The purpose of the ceremony is to call upon Orishas, or deities using the drums. There are three drums that participate in the communication with the orishas during the ceremony. These three drums are Iya (mother), dedicated to the Orisha Yemaya, Itotele (father) dedicated to Oshun, and Okonkolo (baby) dedicated to the orisha Chango. Iya is the largest drum, followed by Itotele and finally Okonkolo is the smallest. Each of these drums are made sacred by going through a specific…

I will compare and contrast two stories I have read. Drumbeats and Bullets and The Drummer Boy of Shiloh. These will both have two young boys. These young boys go on an adventure. Here are the statements I will make. In Drumbeats and Bullets a young boy enlisted at fifteen. After running away this young man was 11 and later on he decided to join the army. His name is Johnny Clem and he was a drummer boy. He took roles as carrying people off the battlefield and helped lead the way with his music.…

Red sand fumes into the moonlit sky, beaded anklets rattling amidst the smoke. Throbbing drums clutter the fiery air, feet stomping and whisking through the thick clouds to the beat. Masks illuminate the crimson fog, voices seeping through into the quaking thump of drums. Flutes fold slender into the cadence, their airy tone shimmering amongst the clack of percussion. This is a night of celebration, a routine festivity to the Igbo people. Their dances are chaotic and minimalistic, although they…

established by his male students, inciting and goading them on to try to perfect both their musical skills and their definitions of masculinity. This is especially the case for Andrew, as we can also see that his ensemble already show signs of practicing their learned flawed definitions of masculinity applied by Fletcher. The scene begins with Andrew nervously going about the task that his partner, fellow core drummer Tanner, demanded of him, “Tune the set to a B-flat. Then you’ll turn my…

to not have a overly processed track this meant having fewer plug-ins and a more real sound. Below will highlight some of my main mixing processes. Drums Before mixing my drums together as one, I put EQ on all the track the aim was to cut out any frequencies I wouldn’t be needing and boost the ones I would. An example of this would be my bass drum. I cut out any sound above 250Hz as I wouldn’t be using this. I then boosted at around 100Hz because this is where I wanted the kick drum…

Dongson Drums: A Snapshot of the Village Life in Bronze Age Vietnam Thesis Statement: Although many scholars believe that the feathered figures on the drums are depictions of ancestor figures, ethnographic evidences from the Karen’s use of the drum and the Toraja’s funeral rites suggest that the images engraved on the drums are mere portrayals of village life in Dongson. Located in the Hong (Red) River valley, the Dongson society is said to be highly dependent on water for agricultural purposes.…

surprisingly mixed age group of people overwhelmed the room. From elderly couples to single women out on the town and families with kids who seemed more interested in their phones than the prospect of seeing a piece of American Musical Theatre based on a 41-year-old movie, the crowd to me was interestingly diverse. From my seat on the right hand balcony, I had a somewhat obstructed view of the pit, where what I would categorize as a pit orchestra sat waiting to accompany the singing performers…

Questlove (mostly known as the drummer of The Roots) talked about how he recorded drums for D’ Angelo’s “Voodoo” album during an interview at Red Bull Music Academy. In the recording session, he was told to emulate D’ Angelo programming the drum without quantizing it, which then accidentally created a raw, dragging and uneven drumming style that fits D’ Angelo’s music perfectly. It is very impressive to see Questlove in the interview deliberately play every drum beat behind but still being able…

length of 60 seconds. The commercial features a gorilla that appears to have a delightful and happy expression during the advert playing a famous drum solo “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. The commercial is shot in a recording studio with a purple background which reinforces the brand Cadbury throughout the advert. The selling tactic that is used is humorous because a gorilla playing a drum kit does not happen in reality. It is effective to the chocolate bar because it 's makes the…
