I thought that I would take a look at the use of sound in this movie as I remembered that it was more interesting than other movies that I have watched recently. There are times at which there is little…

Credits; Hold On
This song does seem to convey the feeling of short-lived passion that comes along with the idea of my main character killing the girl after the first date. It gives a vibe of carelessness which my main character definitely shows,…

Music for a stalking scene
This song reminds me of walking through a city in the dusk, and so when I planned to add a stalking scene in my project, this was the song that I instantly thought of. I feel as though it…

Mission: Impossible – Ceiling Scene
From previous movies that I have watched and reviewed, I have decided that certain types of scenes benefit from a lack of music. Intense action scenes are often perfect for a lack of music, as who wants to miss a…
