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

[@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. 👍🏼

[@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.

[@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

[@truetube5190]

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

[@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..

[@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

[@bottomfeeder9829]

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

[@IAMJAM]

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

[@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.

[@alexwoodvisuals6339]

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

[@FoxxPix]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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...

[@HissingThoughts]

The music as the narrator. BRilliant.

[@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.

[@sgavster]

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

[@PhyrIsSoCold]

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

[@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.

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

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

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

her reaction at 1:08 is hilarious!

[@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.

[@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 . 👌🏽☺️

[@brandycox9351]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@HardworkRules]

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

[@nathanpriceyoutube]

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

[@amqmedia]

Digging the Carman reference. You guys are my favorite.

[@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.

[@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!

[@AndyTheMartian-626]

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

[@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.

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

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

[@jrobfilms1]

get your tickets now.

[@caseygecko]

the sexual tension was palpable.

[@darkridge]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@crazypabs1]

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

[@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 ;)

[@MrMitchellb10]

Ahhhhhhh! loved the Carman reference!

[@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...

[@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 :)

[@Tasuva]

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

[@EdwardMidgleyFilms]

Loved that Breaking Bad reference at 0:12

[@peterjoyfilms]

I'd love to see more episodes like this

[@cfirwin3]

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

[@salvatoreharan]

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

[@lucasm.3588]

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

[@JapaneseNathan]

Intercept

[@MexieMex]

Tell was released ages ago!

[@SlimedogYT]

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

[@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.

[@CornOffTheCobb]

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

[@abranvisible]

one of the funniest episode of film riot!

[@thebern1857]

I'm learning that this week @UCF 😊

[@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.

[@seemssketchy3230]

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

[@thetunacan3247]

Thanks Ryan - I learn something great every time.

[@LavaSpeedRacer]

"Mysterious Mystery Man" 😂👏🏾😂👏🏾

[@LavaSpeedRacer]

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

[@NoviceindisguiseOfficial]

yep

[@tomleefilms]

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

[@ASSADZMANFILMS]

Film Riot is my best friend!

[@blessingtonemusic3290]

LOL Carman!! good stuff I know something about you I didn't know before

[@whiskeywolfgang]

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

[@joshudream]

Yasssss, love Justin's films.

[@jrobfilms1]

thanks, josh!

[@CrazyNate]

This one was soooo informative. Thanks!

[@Coolshows101]

Thanks for the tips. Will certainly help my film.

[@AsaulMinistries]

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

[@AdamPaulStone]

OMG THE WITCH'S INVITATION CARMAN, LOL!

[@Aiden8r]

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

[@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

[@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 :')

[@t.j.gilbert]

Loved the Breaking Bad address reference!!

[@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.

[@SamionSpektor]

Great episode! Thank you Ry Ry!

[@deantraylor7276]

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

[@andrewjoseffcovers]

Awesome video!

[@chaplinesque111]

One Of Your Best! Many Thanks!!

[@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.

[@Song1022]

extra cool episode today!!

[@mrchembe5051]

I'm a simple man .. i see film riot i click 😄 even if I'm not working on anything

[@boldeagle2659]

[@aaroneder741]

[@mrrandomentertainment7151]

That opening sketch had me laughing my ass off.

[@TopNotchGaming22]

Another great video!

[@onedivas]

You kept your promise!

[@mohamedabderrahimhadji8014]

Hi Ryan i'm from Algeria, i like very much what you do. I'm an aspiring movie director and a scriptwriter. I'm watching your old videos to update and same time watching the new ones. I already tried some of the ticks i learned with your videos. Great. I use Hitfilm. Do you think i must chose adobe after effect instead? keep going.

[@Fubuki43]

I know, music is a really big component of a movie :)

[@Jlockw3]

Great episode!

[@superpcstation]

If you are into Psychology then you should check out a KZbin channel called brain craft. Also Film Riot has been kicking ass since you guys moved to the new location.

[@WMICx]

I'd like to scroll through your music library

[@kurtwichman1]

Emilllly! Yay she's back! ahaha

[@sergioandrade7163]

[@diazfilms]

[@filmstuff2593]

[@PaiviProject]

Hi guys. Good video again. I really enjoyed it. Thanks. :)
