Movies have different genres. They range from documentaries to science fiction films. Some may be make believe with a very enticing theme, or they consist of straight facts that may or may not bore the audience depending on what the particular individual finds interesting. A particular movie depicts an event that occurs in 1986 where a small town's elementary school became the target to a genius lunatic. What is a miracle? Well, The Cokeville Miracle has a lasting impression on anyone who views it because it is based on a real event, the "coincidences", and the background music. The Cokeville Miracle, released in June 2015, came from a real event that happens on May 16, 1986, that director T.C. Christensen wanted to recreate. Ron Hartley(Jasen Wade) is a cop in a little town called Cokeville, WY. Leading up …show more content…
Music plays a major part. Whether its something like making someone happy or sad, it brings that sense of emotion. A movie without music would be boring and dull. It takes the boring and dullness away with a music of suspense or terrorizing. Music has its value in the movie. In the scene where Ron is telling his wife of all his investigation, the music begins slowly when he begins saying, " If I hadn't been out that day, I could have easily gotten myself and everyone else in that room killed." Then, the music gradually increases as he continues to tell his tale. The music is soft and heartfelt. It could also bring anyone to tears because of the emotion set from the music. Later on in the movie, the last scene of where they are at church, Ron walks over to a room where all the children in the elementary school were singing. They were singing a known song for children in the LDS church. The song is titled " A Child's Prayer". Its played at the end and leaves a powerful message. The music grows and swells and orchestral music from the same song continues the
Miracles. An event that happens that cannot scientifically and logically be explained. Miracles tend to happen in the most unexpected ways. Even though many people tend to not believe in miracles, for different reasons, I, however, believe that miracles happen every day to different people all over the world. Miracle on Ice was truly and definitely a miracle. How is it possible for a group of college kids to overcome the challenge of beating a full, grown, experienced, USSR team? It’s not. It’s a miracle.
The movie “Cotton Road” is about the way American grown cotton that is sold to China and then made into products that are sold back to America for the publics use. The movie also shares the perspectives of multiple people involve in the “Cotton Road” from the growing of the cotton to the transportation to China, and the transformation from raw cotton to clothing products. The cotton is grown on a farm in South Carolina, and there are perspectives given of that farm owner and the main farm worker. When in China there are perspectives given from dock employees, transporters and cotton factory works such as the cook, fabric imperfection checker, and main clothing maker. I was shocked to see what happens and the hardships that occur in this
There are many different ways to create sound on a film, often sound is used to symbolize certan things, and music is used to generate suspense, fear, joy, and many other different emotions. There are three different types of film sound used to create the world of a film; speech, noise, and music. In the scene "Breakfast Montage" Orson Welles uses many different sound techniques to create the world of film. Orson Welles used non digetic music to symbolize the change in Charles Kane and his first wife Emilys relationship. At first the music in the background was sort of romantic and uplifting ; later in their relationship when they were no longer seeing eye to eye on certain things the music was much more fast passed and symbolized a hostile enviroment. Welles also used non diegetic music to create tension between the two. Later in the scene Charles kane and Emily were arguing over something, its not very clear as to what they were disagreeing on but emily says "but people will think" and Charles responds with "what i tell them to...
Music can really help bring the film to life. The music in “Hugo” is mostly instrumental and is used to help with emotional scenes and tense, exciting scenes. Music helps a lot in “Hugo” because it helps us transition between flashbacks and real time. The sound design is exciting and helps bring the world to life with the sounds of the train station and the noise you would hear at the station. Music directs the viewer to feel the impact of the story and in this film helps us to connect to Hugo. One scene that does this is the transition from Hugo being with his father to being an

According to the Merriam-Webster a miracle is “an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.” It is an unexpected and surprising event that is not explainable by natural or scientific laws and is considered to be the work of a divine agency; some may explain the doings of a miracle on God and what he creates. Miracles occur in every day life and they also appear in the bible. Some people object to the idea of miracles, but people also claim that they have witnessed them in their own lives.

In having Coach Carter be one of the best critically acclaimed movies of 2005, it also portrayed a sense of emotion to the viewer. It transcends a type of mood in every type of scene in the movie.

I have never really met another character quite like Forrest Gump in a movie. And for that matter, I have never quite seen a movie like “Forrest Gump,” either. In order to describe Forrest Gump, it will take quite an amount of work to make the movie seem more conventional, or normal. The movie is a coined a comedy, I guess. It could be a drama film though, or even a dream. This movie is very magical and creates quite the picture of emotions for anyone who views it.
Unlike many Hollywood films, The Apostle’s complex plot is captured with simple videography. This stylistic choice creates a more authentic, tangible representation of the setting that is elemental to both the film and Sonny’s character. The film also utilizes a “documentary-like evocation of the South” through its combined use of actors and non-actors for the worship scenes (Feaster). Duvall’s choice to film relatively long worship scenes (as compared to shorter worship scenes in comparable Hollywood films) and to zoom in on the faces of congregation members during these services also creates a more intimate connection to Pentecostalism. With these shots and authentic representations of Pentecostal worship, viewers absorb every detail of the
Different from other types of films, the music in Phantom of the Opera was used by all the characters, as a way to tell their part of the story. The music created a convincing surrounding for the film, guided the audiences. The music was constantly a signifier of emotion, as the characters expressed their feelings through the songs. The music score was an emotional and scary score that tied into their diegetic/non-diegetic singing, giving the main characters an identity, specifying situations and places to help connect certain points. When we hear the dark music play throughout the movie, it plays a certain theme, that theme gives the viewers a clear hint of who or what the music is talking about. Another example of signifier of emotion was in The Devil Wears Prada, where the film used either fast upbeat songs for when Andy walks all around the city, running errands for Miranda, or romantic alternative music when Andy is with her boyfriend and true friends (The Phantom of the Opera/The Devil Wears
