Sound In Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey

Another movie that uses this cinematic technique is Edward Scissorhands. During the scene where he cuts Joyce's hair there is music playing that is intense/upbeat. This creates the effect for the viewers to feel like it’s a different type of scene. If there was only digetics it would have been less intense feeling and more boring to watch. So as you can see having non-diegetic sounds in shows and movies adds entertainments to what's happening,creates less

He dims both the key and background lights in order to create a poor lit scene which reflects an overall gloomy tone. This scene needs requires a gloomy tone to properly empathize the incident being described as it regards a scary situation. Lastly, the final notable film technique Marsh uses in this scene regards his decision to emphasize certain sounds within the interview. Even though that there is nondiegetic music playing throughout the scene, this paper will only analysis Marsh’s amplification of the sound in Flatz’s interview at the moment she attempts to recreate the sounds Nim was making after the attack. These sounds consisted of Nim pounding on his chest to say sorry and whimpering at the same time.

Many a literary critic claims that the strongest aspect of the book 1984 by George Orwell is its plot. Indeed, there is some merit in this conclusion, as the entire purpose of Orwell’s writing of this book was not to create a literary classic, but to warn the public about the dangers of communism if it got out of hand, and what better way to do this than to write an engaging plot? Others may claim that 1984’s greatest strength is in its character development. This aspect, too, is quite strong in the book, as not only are the minor characters effected in serving the dystopian theme, but the major characters are believable and very human in their failings. Winston’s transformation from an oppressed office worker to revolutionary and finally

Extra-diegetic music plays for the total duration of the clip, adding a sense of suspense, while the whole clip is shot and shown in black and white. What starts as a medium long shot quickly transitions into a medium shot as the two men walk towards the camera. Low key backlighting is present for the duration of the shot. This two shot has a closed frame, leaving the viewer with no information as of far of the world

When the inventor died in Edward Scissorhands there was music that projected a sad mood. This helps the audience connect with the movie more and intrigues the audience more. As Edward and Kim were talking there was angelic, happy music that becomes louder as Edward and Kim hug. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when Charlie finds the money on the ground, Burton uses happy music to project an exciting and magical feeling to the audience. In Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Edward Scissorhands Burton uses camera movements, camera angles, and non-diegetic music to set a certain mood that the audience should feel.

Sound is being used to create or sense the mood for the audience. For example, when Kim’s father is outside, diegetic sound is used so the characters hear the baseball game playing in the background which makes the situation exciting for the audience. Edward finishes trimming a bush (the dinosaur) and everyone is amazed. This can appear to create a dramatic and happy effect for the audience. The sound then crescendos to make it seem as if Edward is being cheered on by the crowd.

It can be said the film start with a new style in this field. The orchestral tone is not only broad complex, the sound effects have great boldness, and the music start with strongly compact speed and explosive force, so that both the exciting science fiction music movie and action film music is full of these black colors. The whole film music development based overture describing the action and suspense, gradually the variations become the later tracks in the strange sound. The strong various percussion instruments burst out of the high energy music and bizarre sound effects, the transmission of a peculiar type of future science and technology hallucinations. In addition, the use of the color is also very vocal.

A Clockwork Orange Over the past two weeks we saw, for one more time, that Kubrick has a very distinct and tremendous understanding when it comes to using classical music. For “A Clockwork Orange” the writer of the novel, Anthony Burgess, has some kind of obsession and own taste about classical music, when these two understanding combines we get a unique synthesis, it is mostly Kubrick’s, though. In the following part of this paper, the use of music will be examined in order of the course of events in the movie: Before the first scene, a very mysterious, kind of sad and ominous but hopeful music welcomes us along with a bright red image. It has a very different sound, like it is out of our world. Before we see any of the scenes it is making

Forward tracking shots, often from a point of view shot, also suggest a movement from the painting and it implies an intimate moment between the portrait and its spectator. Even though the visual aspect is important, to play even more on the living aspect of the painting, the filmmakers also use the music. In the museum scene of Vertigo, the magical feeling of the scene is conveyed because of the editing but also because of the score that matches the different cuts of the

In this scene, lighting is used where a shot reflects on eves face to the farmer in the car on the farm showing how far they are. The scene continues where the lighting used appears too bright and somehow blinding to show the time of day the scene is taking place and the emptiness of the field and the only part left out is Thornhill thus focus is drawn to him and this launches the audience into the attack where the lighting makes it easy to know that he is alone in the barren land which makes him vulnerable and the scene captivating. The editing is utilized in the film where quick and intense scenes are made to be real fast in pace which creates suspense. Sound is also used where the music in the background moves in sync with scenes of suspense where it turns loud and fast making the audience aware of the impending danger (Pernoud, 2015).

Tim Burton’s films utilize music to enrich the viewing experience of all of his films. In the introduction of the movie Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton

Silent movies were almost always accompanied by music, from a multipieced pit orchestra to a single piano or even a guitar. This is why silent film audiences seemed perfectly happy with silent movies. There was also technological difficulty of matching sound with visuals so that everyone in the audience could hear. The problems were synchronisation and amplification. A vitaphone was something that produced the first commercially viable sound system.

In 1927, the release of Alan Crosland’s film The Jazz Singer revolutionized the movie industry with the first feature length movie to utilize synchronized sound. Prior to this innovative film the industry was primarily focused on what are now known as “silent films,” which would often be accompanied in the theatre with live music or sometimes even a recorded soundtrack. The accompanying music would set the mood for these dialogue-less films, and in many ways convey more intricate aspects of the story that could not be expressed through the cinematography alone with the technology at the time. With the utilization of synchronized sound in cinema, the industry adapted a new type of film known as “talkies,” which were just as often musical movies

To help explain this analysis I am using the animated movie Wall-E made in 2008 by Ben Burtt as a case study . Ben Burtt is known as “The Father of Modern Sound” (Ciccarellli, 2009) because of his

Some audience reckons film music as the theme song. However, film music refers to the orchestral music accompanying the film from the beginning to the end. Film music speaks much more of the character of a film than the audience think it does. Apart from being the source music of the film, Film music has quite a few functions. Composer Robin Holfmann listed a few functions of film music, including commenting, illustrating movement, creating plot relationships and atmosphere, portray emotions, alternating the perception of time and psychologically uniting the audience.
