No little part of his effect comes from the music. Although Kubrick originally commissioned an original score from Alex North, he used classical recordings as a temporary track while editing the film, and they worked so well that he kept them. This was a crucial decision. North's score, which is available on a recording, is a good job of film composition, but would have been wrong for “2001" because, like all scores, it attempts to underline the action -- to give us emotional cues. The classical…

“NTGUILTY” I’ve always been intrigued by thrilling scenes and suspenseful moments in the movies I watch and grown to love. The Lincoln Lawyer is no exception. The Lincoln Lawyer is in a genre that truly speaks to me. The Lincoln Lawyer is a crime, drama, and thriller film starring Mick Haller played by Matthew McConaughey, a defensive lawyer who represents low life criminals, drug dealers, con artists, and call girls. The film fits perfectly into the categories I like most. Crime, drama, and…

What does an album cover do? Music itself is not visual, only sound that often times is paired with visuals. This is because together, a visual and a sound, enhance the effectiveness of the piece as a whole. An example of this would be in a movie when a dramatic scene is shown, a dramatic song will be played with it to enhance the scenes effectiveness. Album covers utilize this unique fusion of mediums in a similar way to make the album more marketable, and to create a visual effect on the music…

Before movies had pivotal voices to be heard, they had music. Since Frankenstein in 1910, music has been playing a vital role in film by adding emotion and detail to the plot which the visuals and dialogue can’t portray. From the silent movies of the past to today’s CGI spectaculars, composers and directors very particularly design and choose the score to help a movie tell its story to the fullest, satisfying the vision of the director. The score of a movie has the power to establish emotions in…

killer moves. But it seems Nicki Minaj was not one of the people who were blown away by her performance. On Sunday, the 46 year old Jennifer Lopez opened the prestigious event with her fierce dance tribute. She rocked the stage with a set of mix soundtracks that are notably the hottest songs of the year. But when she started popping on Nicki Minaj's Anaconda, the rapper's facial expression was actually caught on camera. Many critics claimed that the 33 year old rapper was side eyeing while J.Lo…

At times I wonder what life would be like if there was a soundtrack playing in the background. The soundtrack would continue to play capturing every moment in life, although having a soundtrack playing in the background of my life is an impossible idea, there are still those certain songs that seem to sing in my head for every moment I have experienced in my life. I am frequently at a loss of words, but when I hear the right melody, everything falls in place it connects me with memories, places,…

The Great Gatsby Soundtrack The first song I picked was for the party at Gatsby's house for chapter 1-3.I picked a new song for this because it’s a party you need very lively music. In G-Eazy’s song “Me, Myself and I”, He talks about how he’s at a party but he just wants to be alone with one person. I think this would be good for the party scene because he is throwing the parties of the hope that one day Daisy will show up. A line from the the song is “It changes now that I'm famous. Everyone…

Soundtrack to My Life Have you ever just sat down and thought about your life and then put music to it? That’s kind of what I’m here to talk about. The other day it was raining and when I went to go take a nap I caught myself thinking about all the things that’s happened in my life, good and bad. It just so happened I was listening to music while I was laying there. So just naturally I started putting music to the situations and I realized I’m a person that likes a wide range of music. For…
