Blog Post #3 The History of Soundtrack

I made a third post about the relationship between film and music. When the composer John Williams received the 44th AFI lifetime achievement award, he mentioned that film is going to be developed with the art of music. 

Films do not have as much history as music but films do have various features which would strike the audience. When producers add soundtracks into films, they become more memorable and meaningful. I found a link about famous soundtracks from 1960s to 2000s to introduce the element of the soundtrack.

In the link above, each soundtrack is created by different purposes for films. Furthermore, each soundtrack picture is depicted within it's own film atmosphere. 

There was a silent film created to show up the audience at past. As I'm a movie fan, listening to movie music is another fun way to keep the film in one's memory. Once one has watched film in theater, they would have chance to enjoy it by either watching it again or by listening to the soundtrack. The relationship between film and music is strength that makes the audience experience memorable. 

Blog Post#2 What is Soundtrack for you?

The second blog topic is the power of a soundtrack. Soundtracks make movies more colorful what the director imagines. My first impression of a soundtrack is when I was five. My parents and I still remember one essay I wrote at that age. I wrote that I liked the movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and wanted to be a movie director. The reason takes for granted based on the story. Additionally, Hedwig's theme is one of the enduring songs in the soundtracks. When I talk about the Harry Potter series, the main theme is brought back and telling the story more exciting. 

There would be a few people like me focusing on soundtrack. Most of theme watch films without concentrating on how it's made. Eventually, some movies have similarities to other movies or music. For instance, the opening scene of the movie Wall-E from music blog.

At the opening scene you hear the song Herman Song (from Hello Dolly.) The song makes people look at the scene and search for the meaning in the juxtaposition. It also represents the lyric "putting on your Sunday closes" in similarities within the audience and the main character, Wall-E. Soundtracks can bring meanings to a movie. 

The next time you watch a new film or movie you've already watched, you may be interested in watching. 

Blog Post#1 Welcome to soundtrack blog

Hi all! This blog introduces some soundtracks and how they create and influence films. The reason I started this blog is because my hobby is watching films. I like any kind of films because films, for me, shows what I've never known. Even if the story is fiction, I think I always get something from movies. Soundtracks in movies is one of the affections to have indescribable feelings.

With soundtracks , a film could be more fascinating and people are amazed by the relationship between the movie and the soundtrack. No matter where you are in the audience, you could enjoy watching and creating movies. It happens in each theater, home, or mobile devices. I hope you would enjoy and listen to a soundtrack that you have not heard before, For this first post, I put the link below where director Steven Spielberg praises composer John Williams and talks ahead the process of connection between shooting a film and composing a soundtrack.
