For this blog posting, I wanted to show a scene from a film. That I know of very well. How this scene goes well together with the music. It shows fear, love, justice, and an act of kindness, in the need of someones help. In which also it does affects how the story can change the main characters existence from being born. Next, as we see the main characters future father(George). Running to the car park his future wife/and mother(Lorraine)to their son Marty. The music becomes eire, odd, and turns to shock George, when he opens the car door. He's speechless, and when the bully Biff says to him; you got the wrong car McFly, and George interferes with whats going on. Everything becomes serious, when Biff gets himself out the car, and then George takes a swing at Biff's gut. That's when the music changes to big mistake for George, when biff grabs his arm. The music becomes intense,serious, and sense of hopeless for geroge. To me everything becomes emotional and physical when the main character isn't there to help. But when Marty's future mother interferes with the fight, biff pushes her off his back. With biff laugh at what he is seeing, causes George to become upset and angry, to what he saw. Which cause him to make a fist with his other hand, the music changes to show a sense of hope for giving geroge the upper hand. Then its light out for Biff, flat on the ground, and then the worst is over for now, which the music turns into some romantic. At this time as Marty sees what happens, and then looks the picture of him and his brother, sister, he's not too sure about the future about his life. Which causes the music to sound mysterious to whats going to happen next. Finally, I would have to say the music scores showed different kinds of elements of love, a feeling of being worried to another character, justice, and fear. Thrown all together at once, to help the events of scene to turn a feeling of we all thought was lost. In a lot of ways it help flow of how the scene went. In way its like being on emotional roller coaster, and not knowing who will take care of this big bully named biff.
I decide to choose Kevin Smith as the person to write for my blog. This podcast was aired on April 6th 2011, and this conversion was about his newest indie film Red State. Kevin's film career range from director, writer, and even sometimes an actor in his films. He made films such as Dogma, Clerks I and II.
First, during the viewing of this interview, Kevin Smith wanted to say a few things about his film Red State. Before that part of the conversion was talk about, Kevin wanted to point out; how he became a filmmaker. He remembered reading an article from 20 years ago, about an unknown filmmaker by the name of Richard Linklater. Who made an indie film called Slacker(1991), and the director who made this film. Had shot the whole film completely in his home town of Austin, Texas. At that time when Kevin was inspired by this film, to make want to be a filmmaker. The big shocker to me, was that Kevin was going to retire from the film industry.
I would like to tell one of the three quotes, that Kevin was saying during the interview. First, as I talking about Kevin retiring the film industry in paragraph two. He had said "I'm just retiring from the film business as a director". Which he wanted to give the chance to younger filmmakers who are coming into the industry, in a way, it sounds like the passing of the torch. But he's not going away from making films, because I heard recently that he's working on a draft of his next film Clerks III. Secondly, when Kevin first started out a writer, which he had heard from other writers, "writers don't get any respect for there work" When you hand your final script, he or she the director can choose to do with it. They can just as easily tear up the script, and throw it way if they choose to. Which is why Kevin wanted to "direct his films, to protect his scripts" Third, Kevin had said: "I want to make movies to tell stories, not to make comedies". But that's how he made his first film Clerks, which is based on his first job at a quick stop liquor store. For the most part comedies have help his film career, and he also wanted to say that it's truly hard work to put your film out there. You have to find a someone who can distribute his films, and show up for live question and answer panels to talk about what film is about. In all it sounds like a lot of work to just get everyone to see your films. Finally, from listening from this very interesting podcast of Kevin Smith. His take on making films over the years, has help him become the type of person we can like or dislike. Even thou his films weren't that great, over the past six years as some people would say. I was truly surprised how he inspired to make films, by someone, Who was a nobody and is a some body in Hollywood To me, I think of Kevin who's just an average guy who wanted to make films. For our enjoyment, than to make million dollar films that would do well at the box office. In the end Kevin has helped us connect with his best films like Clerks, Dogma, and all the other well known ones. To even showing the nerdy side of showing his love for Star Wars, and comic books, which is why he has such huge fan base at comic book culture In a way, I would like to say thank you for showing his for love films and letting us enjoy his films.
