As filmmakers the five senses are our great tools, but it is only with music that we are able to effortlessly communicate with our audience and tell our story.
Join us as THEMOVIEPOOL takes a look back at the most memorable scored moments in film history.
Speak No Evil is a bone-chilling experience, one of the only films in recent memory that can make even the most ordinary poolside and family holiday moments feel ominous and haunting, you will not forget this one. It will stay with you way past watching the film. Speak No Evil is not for the faint of heart, especially if you have children, James McAvoy's performance is spectacular at making you feel uneasy and makes this a must-watch psychological thriller.
Megan Fox has the time of her life as a seductive murderbot in Subservience.
Kevin Smith's latest comedy The 4:30 Movie contains heart and a wonderful tribute to cinema.
This is a great piece. I love what music adds to film and have learned that some filmmakers realize this necessary point of filmmaking way too late. Good Stuff!
Thank you. I've seen too many filmmakers neglect or under utilize the scoring in their films and they have always suffered for it. So many directors think scoring has to be huge, like 2001 A Space Odyssey and they shy away from it due to either budgeting or lack of familiarity.
But when you learn that scoring can be as simple as The Dark Knight (the high-pitched slow crescendo tinny that introduced The Joker's scenes) then they can really make some strong choices and reflect some powerful emotions.
Thanks again.
Great selection!
I'm surprised to not see any James Bond love in the article, or Jaws. Still all of those pieces are great, and would seem incredibly hard to narrow down. Very nice, although because of that Predator mention, I can't get the line "Get to the choppa!" out of my head!
It was hard not to put any Bond pieces on it, but I decided ultimately on the fact that there were no breathtaking, ultimate moments scored in the films. Most range in emotional psyche up for the action, to get your heart beating and adrenaline pumping.
