Soundtrack

As a historical drama, it revolves around events that happened in the past. Therefore, the special effects in this movie was not as prominent compared to a sci-fi movie. Most of the tracks included in the soundtrack were written by Alexandre Desplat, a French film composer. As a musician, I would say the most outstanding tracks were by Beethoven even if the movie only included one or two tracks of his work. The background music fit the scenes as perfect as…

I recently visited Santa Fe College Fine Arts Hall to view the Songs for the season. This was my first time ever attending a show. My first experience was great and I really enjoyed it. To begin I would like to say the production and the displays were magnificent. When I walked in even before the show began they gave the perfect lighting with the snowflakes projected on the closed curtains. They also projected a Christmas tree and sat nutcrackers on each side giving a great winter theme. As it…

pop-y synthesized tracks heard throughout “Danger Days”. In a way, you could say the sound of “Danger Days is very cinematic while “The Black Parade” is very theatrical. When listening to “Danger Days” the feeling is as if you’re in a movie and the soundtrack is on blast. When you close your eyes while listening to “The Black Parade” you feel as if you are at a rock opera with a full…

sexualities. The two of them only held for two years, as the couple already divorced in 1986. Afterwards, Mc Kenzie moved to New York to live with his manager Ned Harty. Although the musical film Too Fast to Live he stars in is low budget, the soundtrack CD sells 12 million copies.

Kami, our peer mentor is a perfect example of a citizen leader. She took the time out of her college schedule to become a peer mentor and teach us how to be good citizen leaders. Many of the presentations such as the bystander presentation and the soundtrack presentation speak about being a good citizen leader. For example, when it spoke about asking someone to sit with you at lunch, I personally took that example to heart. I thought how awful and scary it would feel to sit alone and feel alone.…

to convey this, while the main character, Ray, is documenting his journey, he uses dream-like music. It shows he feels like he is on his way to having his dream become reality. On the contrary, most of the rest of the film doesn’t have much of a soundtrack. This shows the difference between what Ray thinks his life is, compared to what it really is. The film also uses symbolism in that Ray’s father lives very far from him and his mother, symbolizing the distance between Ray life and his…
