Some people are inexplicable because it may sound to readers of this site, but there are film enthusiasts who claim they don’t enjoy Stanley Kubrick’s work. But even his most immovable non-evaluator must hand it for him Shininghis 1980 Stephen King adaptation is widely considered to be one of the most frightening, perhaps the most frightening films ever made. There are many visual reasons for its effectiveness far beyond the central audience of Kubrick enthusiasts, and have been highly scrutinized by 21st century video essayists. But as explained Kaptain Kristian video aboveA significant part of the fear of Shining It’s not visible. I mean, we don’t see it, but listen. Rather, what we hear greatly strengthens what we see.
One technique that is strongly employed in films is the incongruous name “Mickey Marsing.” It was named after the way classic cartoons were scored in close sync with the character’s movements, but it was abolished in the 19th and 70s, when a subtle film style won.
for ShineKubrick and music editor Gordon Steinforce chose to bring it back.Strings, percussion, and Celesta musicNot only does it enhance the shocking moments, it also deepens the sense of fear that permeates the film from the beginning. ShineThe action of “Music and Its Characters” surprises me that most of the film was filmed without anything heard on the soundtrack playing on set. Some scenes were not even intended to have any music before editing.
Stainforth said The overall idea was to use “Music as Music”. For example, it is a “big sound” associated with a title card announcing the day of the week, and it is a precursor to the fact that “the end of judgment is approaching ever.” When you look next Shinepay attention to the clues, how closely they are associated with the images that come with it and your memory, and Jack dancing through the ballroom they accompany, turns the corner, Danny spins thin twins, blood flowing from the elevator, Wendy’s man turning his eyes to the bear. But then I think the last one is scary no matter what the soundtrack has.
