From The Film, The Shining By Stanley Kubrick
From the movie, The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick, there’s a series of scenes that have frantic background music playing. The musician that composes the music would be a man that has the name of Krzysztof Penderecki. Penderecki is a composer from Poland that is born on the 23rd of November of 1933. I personally, would characterize his music as very loud to mild. I’m not really a fan of movies like The Shining because of the music it has that leaves a chill down my spine. Like previously mentioned, Stanley Kubrick is the director of the film and also a screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor, and photographer. His films could be characterized as historical and horror from his previous projects like Fear and Desire & The Killing.

    Titration is a method, which is meant to find the concentration of either an acid or a base by adding a measured amount of it to a known volume and concentration of an acid or base1. Titration starts with a beaker or Erlenmeyer flask containing a very precise volume of the known concentration solution and a small amount of indicator, which is put underneath a burette containing the solution with unknown concentration1. Small drops of the titrant are then added to the known solution and indicator until the indicator changes which means the endpoint has been reached. Single drops of the titrant can sometimes make a permanent or temporary change in the indicator2.…

    We've recently watched the movie 23 Skidoo both in class and on our own time at home. When I first saw it in class, I was a bit confused and I didn't really understand what was happening in the film. After re-watching it, I understood that it is a film about a post-nuclear bomb explosion. What's different about this movie is that there is no narrative, or actors, but there is music. I find that it makes you concentrate more on what's happening in the film because no one's explaining it to you. The music featured in the film wasn't continuous. It made the setting more mysterious because sometimes, the music would be almost scary sounding, and you'd think that something was about to happen. It made me create other scenarios…

    The Shining is a 1980’s horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick. The horror film is based on Stephen King’s novel The Shining. The Shining is a classic horror film that uses death and insanity to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The Shining is as psychological as horror gets.

    In the scene “Barrels” Jaws (1975), of the three categories music was more prominent than any other. There were several conversations as well. When anyone thinks of Jaws, they think of the music. It creates a sense of danger, suspense, and apprehension. The music in this scene works well with the dialogue, lighting, and continuity of editing. Goddykoontz and Jacobs (2011) describe music as being “a crucial part of the movie-going experience” (Sec. 6.4; papa. 18).…

    To be crass is to be uncaring, or uneducated on a sensitive matter. Many people in the world come to a decision brashly or hastily with what they say and it comes out in a very ignorant way. Occurrences like this are becoming more frequent now than ever. This is because there are more problems that occur nowadays for people to have different opinions on. In Wonder, Julian acts crassly towards August throughout the whole story. He treats him like garbage and doesn't feel bad. He wasn't educated by his parents on people with disabilities like this and thus treated August poorly. Not because he was rude and obnoxious, but because he was ignorant. This proves that Julian was crass through his ignorance to the matter at hand and what he did with the area of missing knowledge.…

    Richard Wagner was a German composer, theatre director, and conductor who is primarily known for his operas. His music can be heard in many movies and some are very popular. Among his popular music, you can include “Ride of the Valkyries” that is featured in the film “What’s Opera Doc?” Many of Wagner’s pieces of music tended to be more on the dramatic side, which influenced me to choose this classical music as one of my favorites.…

    Alan De Botton Humorists

    Alan de Botton’s views on the vital role of humorists in conveying unpopular or difficult to say perspectives is mostly incorrect. While it is undeniable that humorists are allowed to say some things other people normally can’t, the role of humorists in society is not vital because of these messages, nor is this immunity all-powerful in protecting these humorists from backlash. The vital function of humorists in society is not to be some sort of activist (society has enough of those already), but rather to be funny—to pursue their chief aim of entertainment, and to make people laugh.…

    Milan Kundera – the author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being – had a history with music. His deep knowledge and understanding of music can be seen in the novel’s structure because it is not organized chronologically. After the discussion, I was able to analyze the novel and notice that since it is organized into themes it follows a musical composition. This also relates back to the different relationships the characters have with music; Tereza and Franz both enjoy music, but Sabina despises it because of her childhood experiences with…

    Tim Burton Essay

    • 747 Words
    • 3 Pages

    First off, sound makes up a large part of film making, especially a Tim Burton film. For example, in The Nightmare Before Christmas the infamous theme song is loud and booming which causes a sense of suspense since it usually takes place in the dark streets of Halloween Town. In Edward Scissorhands when Edward sees Kim’s picture for the first time, the non-diegetic music is slow and soft to imply that he likes her. In Sleepy Hollow, the music is shrill and eerie as Icabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is riding his horse in the woods to try to lure the Headless Horseman out. An unearthly horse-like shrill is heard sending chills up my spine. The music quickly turns deafening and without noticing I’m leaning so close to the TV I’m about to fall out of my seat. Sound plays an indispensable role in many of Tim Burton’s films.…
