Scoring Scores

The music of a movie is everything. The background music and sound coincide with every shift in tone, mood or scene.
Several movies have memorable scores as in Star Wars, Star Trek, Jaws and Jurassic Park. These movies have original scores that are memorable and connect with that movie forever.
Movies also can have original soundtracks with known artist to score the movie. Recent movies with great soundtracks are Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy.
The music in the background to a movie play a huge part in every aspect of the movie even when you do not realize it. It is the rise in sound that inflicts suspense and sudden loud instrument to frighten you in a horror movie.
Scoring isn’t just music though, it is also every other sound that goes into a movie. In animated movies the clack of heels on hard wood floor, the bang of a thunderstorm all goes into scoring.
Different tactics are used to make these sounds also. Beans in a bottle can be rain and banging pots together can be thunders. Though I make it sound simple it is the exact opposite.
These sound effects made are called Foley and great effort goes into finding the right sound for the right action.

The right score for the right movie goes a long way. This is how we have the memorable songs the coincide with movies like Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Psycho.

Getting into Radio

As we continue to talk about entertainment and all variations of this I think there is one that I have been leaving out. Recently I have been working with a with a public radio station and it has been eye opening to the entire platform.  A lot of people think that radio is just the local music channel you listen to. This channel play music and commercials and might talk every once in a while. While that is a type of radio that is not all radio is.  Public radio is news and interesting stories that you can listen to. They have everything that happening now all around the country and internationally. They also have interesting stories about prisons, ticks and convicts. Its like Facebook to your ears.  The process of public radio is also very hard, but also very cool. As an intern I do stories that air in a special segment. Though this is only one type journalism it works about the same way. You find a story, you go after the story, you get the story and you broad

Wonder Woman and Feminism

Image
With the recent release of the Wonder Woman movie, I only find it right to give a reason of why this is such a big deal.  Wonder Woman was created as a figure of the feminist move and has been fight for a spot on the big screen for years. She has been in comic since 1942 and this her only film on the big screen. As the figure of Feminism Wonder Woman has been through her ups and down in a world of men. Her outfit, origin, powers and equipment have all gone through changes because of this. Censorship and sexism is the only way to put it when talking about why this has happened.  Through the years some things have stayed the same for the most part. She is borne of the Amazon Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. She was raised on Paradise Island and only left when her love interest Steve Trevor and learned of the unforgiving world that we live in. She is Princess Diana of Themyscira, but goes by the alias Diana Prince.  Though she has been in many animated movies and

As I continue to talk about comics and what is happening with the in the entertainment with them, I thought it would nice to help those of you who are just getting in to comics. In this post I will tell you my way of getting into comics.  1. First you want to pick a direct character.  Whether is be the Flash or Iron Man you need to pick a place of jumping into these stories. Most of the stories are intertwined with other characters and groups like Justice League and Avengers. Even though this may not be the only character you want to follow, its good to find a starting place because these stories have a lot of twist and turns. These comics have also been going on for a very long time and have changed with the times. So your character might have different people that take the name and you need to be specific on what or who you want to follow. So for Flash you have to pick between Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West to pick which The Flash you want to follow. Some peop
