The Psychological Effect of Music in Film

[@augusthalverson3180]

i love how film riot is constantly evolving into something even better all the time

[@ImaginationFolder]

I agree with that 100%. Looking at their old stuff compared to now is mind blowing

[@logan_fulford]

Hey Film Riot, just so you guys know the license plate in the first sketch here isn't blurred out, it's an amazing custom plate, but seeing as you whited it out in the pre sponsor section and that it's something you usually do I'm guessing it may have been missed. It's at 1:48 . Keep up the awesome content. Love what you guys do.

[@filmriot]

+SuperNova that was a digital replace of the original. It's not the original plate.

[@logan_fulford]

:O Well that makes it even more genius, well done good sirs...

[@WMICx]

+Film Riot ...or this comment could be a clever cover up for your mistake

[@pwnerjenkins9208]

i like how filmriot is evolving. theyve always had shorts that lead into the topic, but things are getting funnier and it actually felt as if i was watching a short film. keep up the good work

[@xOALtoFrEak900Ox]

I love the goosebumps when the score matches a scene perfectly. My suggestion is Junkie XL's "brothers in arms" from Mad Max: Fury Road. Or another is the magneto scene in X-Men Apocalypse. It's called "shattered life" by John Ottman. As a musician, I really love when the track is charged with emotion, the crescendos, the staggering, the tremolo of the strings. So dramatic. 👍🏼

[@truetube5190]

That opening scene was great. I mean seriously the cinematography was dope. Oh man I'm jealous af. Good work film riot

[@sheggy5442]

"If I was to play a 5-on-5 basketball game, I would just pick you and play 2-on-8 because you're my best friend." Where is Ryan's Pulitzer Prize for screenwriting?

[@lockitdrop]

OHHHHH Justin Robinson is honestly one of my favorite directors at the moment.

[@jrobfilms1]

you're one of my favorite people at the moment.

[@leucbinh7397]

Did anyone notice the address was from Breaking Bad?

[@jordantbaker]

noticed, paused and went to find the comment about it so I could like it

[@JCRXX]

I really wanted to comment this first xD I can just hear Walt saying it on the phone or to a camera in my head

[@BeerTent]

No.

[@theL_Rocks]

Wow great episode guys! It's great learning something new from you guys every episode you produce. The filmmaking community is so lucky to have you.

[@AmeyaBenare]

that train scene somehow reminds me of interstellar or at least its trailer.

[@twanduvigneau5809]

yes!

[@wiz3404]

it reminds me of inception

[@BeerTent]

or at least Video Copilot -.-

[@GoRichardVEVO]

Explosive Training

[@NageshKandel]

same, and its probably a christopher nolan's thingy, you can see it in the dark knight rises, inception, prestige, interstellar...

[@whiskeywolfgang]

"He's just quoting Carman" "Who's Carman?" "He's Italian"

[@CornOffTheCobb]

I don't think Walter White is going to be too happy you used his address in that note hahahaha

[@IAMJAM]

Dude Film Riot os back! Best episode in a long time! So great!

[@alexwoodvisuals6339]

One of the best episodes in a while!!! The new content is fire!

[@HissingThoughts]

The music as the narrator. BRilliant.

[@calebhaynes5920]

New Film Riot member AND a new soundtrack! ...AWESOME! This couldn't get any better! All we need now is a surprise announcement for a new short film haha!

[@jmoore4674]

This is creepy...I just begun adding a score to a short film I'm working on today...WEIRD

[@RobbieSkaff]

Same haha

[@MaxxMcGeeImpactStudios]

Yeah, I'm also currently composing for 2 short movie projects ;) One just came in yesterday

[@SouthernVRProduction]

hahaha yeahh, I make short movies I already uploaded one yesterday :)

[@marcel1416]

In my opinion a score should never tell the audience how to feel, it should support the feelings that are given by the story. I think a hollywood composer said that in an interview (Hans Zimmer I think, big fan of him) and I completely agree. If a score tells you how to feel it's probably very generic (a big problem for filmmakers who can't get a composer for their film and has to rely on premade stuff). A lot of directors who work (for example) with Hans Zimmer, trust their composer to the extend, that in crucial scenes their is only score playing, no major dialogue, maybe with a little monologue (for example the endling of Inception, Interstellar or The Dark Knight/The Dark Knight Rises). I think the connection between composer and director is very important, look at Zimmer and Chris Nolan, they have done some spectacular cinema moments.

[@jnru3ns4N3]

except in Interstellar where the score was bombarded to the audience and drowned out the scenes. Same thing also happened in BvS however Junkie XL was also co-composer of the soundtrack so..

[@SAndSPictures]

That's the first time he referenced TELL In forever. Question by the way - why is that short film on another channel, but all of your other shorts are on this channel?

[@FoxxPix]

Thanks for the new video. I'll add it to the required viewing for my students.

[@bottomfeeder9829]

I loved the Carman reference! That was a real blast from the past.

[@epitomeOFblueberries]

I loove this kind of video!!!! Thank you for making such great content!

[@filmriot]

Glad you dug it.

[@luciiid]

+Film Riot fr , it's funny af and really good . 👌🏽☺️

[@olofljunggren1189]

How awesome that Justin is on Film Riot! That guy is super talented! My favorite of his is Grape Soda.

[@jrobfilms1]

thanks a ton dude.

[@footerest78]

It took me most of the episode to recover from the Carmen reference and I gotta believe I'm in the minority there so a special thank you for included that. You sir, are a champion.

[@hudtomainframe]

It was the "he's Italian" response that totally made me lose it.

[@tarview]

Agreed! I made a point to look through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it. Best. Easter Egg. Ever.

[@BenJewer]

Great episode. More like this (doing a sketch/scene and dissecting it for a certain technique and then exploring that technique in different situations) would be fantastic!

[@PhyrIsSoCold]

+2 INT. Also, welcome to Film Riot, Justin!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

her reaction at 1:08 is hilarious!

[@HardworkRules]

This was uploaded on my birthday! Thanks for the great gift guys. Loved the episode.

[@brandycox9351]

This is the best Film Riot episode in a long time. Right on for raising the bar! Learned a lot! Thanks!

[@AustinThomasFilms]

OH, Justin Robinson is the guy who made Grape Soda! And Any Given Tuesday!

[@jrobfilms1]

i'm impressed.

[@AustinThomasFilms]

Justin Robinson Wow! Keep up the good work!

[@jrobfilms1]

thanks my dude.

[@ScottsShots]

And YOU'RE The guy who I keep seeing on the Rocket Jump forums!

[@AustinThomasFilms]

knifebladepresents Lol, you'd see me more often if I could get my account to work! Won't let me log back in for some reason...

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Next week, Justin & Josh, the musical... ;)

[@jrobfilms1]

get your tickets now.

[@caseygecko]

the sexual tension was palpable.

[@sgavster]

Yes! Monday challenge! The thing that really got me into filmmaking

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Love their way of introducing new people or humor, generally. Greatest bro team ever!

[@nathanpriceyoutube]

Fantastic episode, Film Riot! Loved it! This is by far my favorite episode you've done in a while.

[@ImaginationFolder]

Film Riot did an episode like this a long time ago and I loved it. Music is definitely not my strong suit, so I'm glad you touched on it! Keep it up.

[@amqmedia]

Digging the Carman reference. You guys are my favorite.

[@cfirwin3]

"He's quoting Carmen... He's Italian"... So few people are going to get either side of that gag... But I appreciated it!

[@Tasuva]

I started to laugh when the heroic score began in this short scene but totally lost it when the comical music started. xD

[@SimGunther]

Imagine if the beginning of The Social Network had Metallica or any other typical college rock track instead of Trent Reznor's chilling score. Trust me, that score *made* the movie so worth it for me.

[@tommostella9355]

This is an awesome episode - really liking the specialized visual explanation (brain graphics/cake/picture frame), really adds to the production value. Or something. Either way, nice!

[@alessandrocwilliam]

That moment when you watch Film Riot not because you want learn, but because you want see the cool stuff they made this week.

[@TmksGames]

Justin is a really fun & talented dude, I think you guys needed that one extra person to push yourselves more :)

[@vfxstar7019]

Monday Challenge!! Yessss.

[@lucasm.3588]

Still waiting for... THAT SHORT MOVIE....

[@JapaneseNathan]

Intercept

[@MexieMex]

Tell was released ages ago!

[@MaxxMcGeeImpactStudios]

Great cinematography at the silo, the scene with train passing by was sick! It's sometimes very hard to compose the right music for a scene, I can tell ;)

[@deantraylor7276]

More like this please. Super useful. It is a way of teaching to a large diverse group of film makers. Monday's for questions and challenges. Some other ideas for videos are the rules of film making, both in movie and on set,,, and another where you guys try out your genres or types of film making , styles.

[@DanceManAlex]

Great video! The content was really in-depth and thorough! This got me really excited to start thinking about how I think of and use music in film and personal projects! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@davideastham]

I remember the location of this from a previous short film you did. Wasn't it back on the Portal Combat shoot? Love the videos.

[@MrMitchellb10]

Ahhhhhhh! loved the Carman reference!

[@sijoalex5951]

hey ryan, im from india and im a huge fan of you.you guys deserve to be in hollywood making your own films........great work...keep it up.

[@SlimedogYT]

the movie reference at the end is from The Boy. Crazy awesome movie

[@TheOneMattWilkinson]

Just for your information it was actually Eisenstein who first worked with montage like that. Hitchcock built off of it, but the blank emotions cutting to and from different shots was definitely Eisenstein.

[@crazypabs1]

This is officially my favorite skit....like official with a badge....which is like the highest level of official....yeah....that.

[@abranvisible]

one of the funniest episode of film riot!

[@srivastava767]

with filmstro now out on windows, I doubt pre composed music as .wav will be a better option over using sliders to control the depth and velocity.

[@EdwardMidgleyFilms]

Loved that Breaking Bad reference at 0:12

[@peterjoyfilms]

I'd love to see more episodes like this

[@AndyTheMartian-626]

no lie, you guys are seriously the best film teachers ever, I could explain many reasons why but i'm not.

[@darkridge]

When it comes to music, you only have to remember one thing: Everything is better with Yakety Sax. Everything. EVERYTHING.

[@jonotheepic]

Was that the set for the portal video?

[@salvatoreharan]

Eyy, I'm from SC... Glad you got out of there as well.

[@tylerkneer3984]

Thank you so much for putting up this amazing content for free. You guys are amazing and teach me so much and i love it.

[@LavaSpeedRacer]

"Mysterious Mystery Man" 😂👏🏾😂👏🏾

[@LavaSpeedRacer]

And wasn't that the same set of your short film "Portal Combat"?

[@NoviceindisguiseOfficial]

yep

[@marcguidobolen693]

Hey FIlmriot, Can u do a video explaining how inserts or basically how scenes work. Does each character shoot there lines separately and then they combine them in the editing room. Or do shoot it so no cameras are shown on the other camera. What if you have multiple people in a room. what if you want to get a close up of a character. what about a character grabbing a drink and then cutting back to the basic coverage. Please help

[@marcguidobolen693]

Actually can anyone just say a comment

[@meltedseb]

+Mraq Bolen if you are having a couple of people having a conversation in a scene, you could either have a multi can set up, with one camera showing both people and then one on the first person and another on the second person. But if you don't have a multi camera set up, both actors should go through the lines completely for each camera angle. Sorry if it sounds confusing but that's what I'd do.

[@hdns4]

Parking Entertainment Yeah, Film Riot actually talked about that in the episode, as well as things like inserts.

[@marcguidobolen693]

That is the best explanation. Thank you! *****

[@Studio-kp7xb]

If justin and josh ever get into an argument or have a falling out, all you need to do is play that intro for them :')

[@WINTERMUTE_AI]

Perfect timing, I am going to be making a movie that takes place in one room, while outside that room an extinction level event is occurring. I have been thinking a lot about what that will sound like, because its going to rely heavily on that. Thanks for the great episode.

[@CrazyNate]

This one was soooo informative. Thanks!

[@aaroneder741]

1:41 that car plate tho...

[@proovemewrong]

7:20 gone it is

[@seemssketchy3230]

Music is an overpowered character that can change any scene ✍✍✍

[@thetunacan3247]

Thanks Ryan - I learn something great every time.

[@deantraylor7276]

This was a greet video. More like it in the future would be very useful.

[@joshudream]

Yasssss, love Justin's films.

[@jrobfilms1]

thanks, josh!

[@Coolshows101]

Thanks for the tips. Will certainly help my film.

[@marekren4384]

+Film Riot What could be done to use music but would need to be avoided by copyright? Would a simple disclaimer work as some do on KZbin for just lyrics or is there an actual site that one can actually pay for a songs use?

[@tomleefilms]

Your comedy is just so hillarious😂 great stuff again guys!😁

[@TylerTamburino]

Where can I get that comical song Ryan used for an example?

[@SamionSpektor]

Great episode! Thank you Ry Ry!

[@AsaulMinistries]

Bro! You guys know Carman! I was thinking that exact thing when he said, "Witch's invitation!"

[@JimmyGlasscock]

I know this is relatively similar to another episode, but I'm confused. I'm wondering how I would pull off throwing a knife in the air, as if to catch it, and then it impales my face. Preferably without getting injured. Any ideas?

[@BobIzam]

wow, great video! Also, did you guys get permission from those people to use clips from other films or are you just hoping content id wont catch it and you can say its under fair use? Just curious cause i would really hate to happen to you guys what happened to Cinematography Database or Channel Criswell

[@gabeyaron6565]

When you have over the shoulder views, how do you blur out the guy who's not talking?

[@AdamPaulStone]

OMG THE WITCH'S INVITATION CARMAN, LOL!

[@garrettz8357]

0:55 I had to rewind there. Almost thought that was his reflection in the window

[@andrewjoseffcovers]

Awesome video!

[@Song1022]

extra cool episode today!!

[@chaplinesque111]

One Of Your Best! Many Thanks!!

[@ASSADZMANFILMS]

Film Riot is my best friend!

[@whitepointstarproductions8905]

Not often you see clips from feature films in FR. Has something developed?

[@SirMightyPlays]

@ 5:33 what is that jam I need it!!

[@kjsproductions2759]

Whats the name of the song at the beginning?? its very important...

[@t.j.gilbert]

Loved the Breaking Bad address reference!!

[@PeredyIzhere]

How does one go about hiring you for a music video?

[@Aiden8r]

hey guys you're very close to one million subscribers!

[@harryquebert2979]

Is that moon in your background from Hugo movie?

[@thebern1857]

I'm learning that this week @UCF 😊

[@franchesco189]

I understood your Carman reference!!!!!! Hahahaha wow! That was a good one!!!! Hahaha also the music stuff was cool too, BUT that Carman reference!!!! Hahaha

[@ChacaConProductions]

I'm not very good at writing music or composing or even understanding how to do it but I'm wondering what kind of program if there is anything that would help me in composing music? Is there anything you guys recommend? I cannot afford the composer to write my music for my videos

[@riyuji2697]

Where can I find good and free music packs especially horror themed? I',m planning to direct a short film and I have no idea where to start.

[@MrKOtgamer]

Riyuji Studio google royalte free music there are tons of tracks. Also you can use services like Jamendo or jukedeck.

[@mrrandomentertainment7151]

That opening sketch had me laughing my ass off.

[@janetgarcia6143]

What Camera was used here? I'd greatly appreciate the info
