Similarly ‘Gallipoli’ by Peter Weir captures this through the distinctively visual…

feelings that I attempt to express are real. My poem is not a checklist of the things that I’m afraid (or excited) that college might be (I haven’t even applied yet). It’s not a wide range of emotion on worldly subjects or about my own personal experience. It’s a poem for a friend whom I consider myself to be quite close to, whom I believed needed a little bit of hope. “Imaginary Brother” is a free-form poem in which I lend my passionate view of the world to another who, like myself, thinks too…

orchestra introduce the audience to the tone of the movie, for example, in the beginning of the movie where the scene shows Bruno departing from Berlin, Horner uses the theme of the movie “Boys playing with Airplanes” to set the tone of naivety and innocence to Bruno’s adventure (00:10:30).In addition to using an orchestra, Horner also uses just the grand piano. In scenes like 00:07:00, Bruno’s father walks down the stairs with a diegetic piano in the background. Furthermore, in scenes like…

praise the poet has for the scene. For another, from the words of the choice, Blake uses verb to describe London, has the dynamic beauty. When reading his poem, it is easy to imagine what the citizens were doing at that time, and it is easier to experience the thoughts that the poet has.

“Hotel California” couldn’t seem more different. Each song was researched, listened to multiple times, and broken down into segments to analyze and after some investigation, it’s obvious that there are some similarities. Both songs were anthems of sorts, “Blue Danube” defined Strauss’s beloved city of Vienna and “Hotel California” described what it was like to find yourself in the middle of the 1970s. In addition to their anthem-status, both songs share technical…

The audience’s experience of tension and feeling is brought forth by the patterns of music and dance (Pearlman). In the “Razzle Dazzle” scene with Billy Flynn, the anxiety and tension that he is feeling could be felt through the choreography and the intense music.
