MUSIC IN MOVIES


Music is a very Essentials part in most of the Films, and more in drama. The Soundtrack is one of the factors that make a movie succeed.

The filmmakers realize that the movies depend of the music, and that are a lot of ways to have music in the movies; like in musicals because the musical are based in songs.

It doesn’t matter which genre of film it is, it Could be action, drama, comedy, romantic, they are always going to have music, because it is a fact that the music let the viewer feel what the scene wants to transmit, and that makes the viewer be more focus in the movie.

Songs are used in movies to show all kinds of emotions and to make the viewer get involve in the movie.

GOING THE DISTANCE


Hi everyone, today I’m’ going to talk about the movie “Going the distance”, this is a romantic movie directed by Nanette Burstein, and written by Geoff Latullipe.

The main characters are Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garret (Justin Long), they fall in love in 6 weeks, the only problem that they had is that they live in different cities, so they started a long distance relationship. This movie shows us that no matter what love always win; and also that If we love someone we have to do everything for them and not just think in our own goods, also think in theirs.

With this movie we can learn the meaning of friendship and love.

In this movie we can see the use of every kind of shots, they go from bird-eye shot to close-up shot; the music they use go with every scene, because they match the music with the things that are happening, so that makes the viewer get into the movie and feel what they are feeling.

Also Nanette Burstein had made other movies like: American Teen, On the Ropes, The Kid stays in the picture, Film school, Autobiography, American Shopper and more.

I recommend you this movie, because you are going to have fun, you are going to cry, and you are going to learn a lot of thing of friendship and love.

PLEASANTVILLE EFFECT


The Pleasantville effect is one of the best effects I`ve ever seen, we can use it in videos or in photos.

The pleasantville consist in that everything in the Photo or the video is in Black and White except for one color you can choose. It makes our video or Photo look more professional and it capt our attention.

The time you want to do the Pleasantville effect in a video you can do it in the program you want such as Final cut, Adobe alter Effects, Sony Vegas, etc.

A lot of movies such as Schindler´s list use the Pleasantville effect, to creat a new way of watching the movie, and also to make us focus in just one point.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA


Hey guys, well today I´m going to talk an Amazing movie called The Devilwears Prada; directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh Mckenna and Lauren Weisberger.

This is an awesome movie for everyone, that it`s about a young woman named Andrea Sachs that started working as the assistant of Miranda Priestly, she is the most poweful executive of The Runway fashion magazine; Andrea just wanted the job to have better references for the best Business magazine in which she wanted to work. She had a lot of obstacles in her job …. But this movie teaches us some lessons for our life, one of them is that we don`t have to change for anyone in our life, and the other one is that to succed in life we had to choose our own lessons without thinking in the opinions of others.

One of the things that called my attention is that this movie was filmed in a loto f locations such as Musée Galliera, 10 avenue, Paris – France and obviously New York.

It was nominated for 2 Oscars, had 8 wins and25 nominations.

This is a comedy movie that you would really enjoy, so I hope you like it :)
