Expression; something I wish more desktop composers and musicians in general would understand better. People have asked for advice on countless scores, usually frustrated that their scores have no impact or "just don't sound right." They're almost always sample libraries either played on keyboards or sequenced via MIDI. Most ask about using different samples, more processing or some kind of specialty hardware device but I always tell them that won't work. One of my proudest achievements in working on a movie was regarding some incidental MIDI "orchestral" music. The composer said he was about ready to give up on the piece he wrote and start again, but gave me free reign to do what I want with it. I simply brought in some string players to replace most of the MIDI tracks with real musicians and it worked beautifully. As the great Victor Wooten said "I can program a computer to produce any note I want but it can't make music."
@SergeantSmilo4 жыл бұрын
Actually, with a lot of newer sample libraries, expression is more than just possible. It all comes down to how well the composer knows what they're working with. If they do, and they put the time in, a piece created on a computer can be just about indistinguishable from a live performance.

It's like you're teaching me how to learn. I absolutely love it.

This really seems a good lecture on music theory for the first 20 minutes. The last 5 show how different music works in film (and it's very instructive). Now that we've got a foundation in music theory, I hope we'll get commentary using actual examples - though, I suppose, rights might be a problem. We all want to know why Kubrick highjacked music, or how John Williams's scores have made many films better ("Jaws" is a great entry point).

Hi, I think it would be great to do a follow up looking at some common film music devices, such as texture changes, reorchestration, changes in tessitura, especially how they're handled at the ends of cues. And the use of music to set time and place. Could be a great mini-series.
@IgnacioAOlivar6 жыл бұрын
Music in a movie can be, and sometimes should be, the key identity of genre, plot, the whole idea behind the film. Even more, music could play a main character in movies. Think about "Singing in the rain" in the famous scene of "Clokwrok Orange": The music just express the action of characters or dictate what it's necessary to do? It's depends on the general view of the director. Music could be a simple "effect" or tel us the story on its own.The famous scene of "The Exorcist", without the master piece of "tubular bells" it's fair creepy but non less, but music give us and anticipation of all the suspense and horror.

As a bumbling musician I am very enamored with this episode, although I must admit, I disagree with one statement. Overall I really love the wonderful musical overview and summary regarding how these elements are used in film. On the other hand, I do not feel the music chosen for the fight scene in A Clockwork Orange was chosen entirely as a contrast or juxtaposition. That piece, in its day, was a lively and engaging dance number. In the cultural context of the milk club gangs violence was almost a form of dance. Whether the director intended or not, this musical selection was very appropriate for the scene, consciously or unconsciously.
