Sound Designer / Director: Fritz Lang
Released at the beginning of the conversion of silent films sounds, Fritz Lang's M is a master class on how to use sound to reflect the internal state of a character. In this case, the character whose mind we enter is Hans Beckert, a child murderer who whistles "In the Hall of the Mountain King" whenever he was on the hunt for his next victim. In one memorable scene, are the sounds of a busy street soundscape Beckert circling the neighborhood. Suddenly, all that spoiled our quiet observation of the thinking of a child and the window is overcome with desire. It is as if the view of the dam caused all his people come to a standstill. When the child begins to walk, the sound is not cut and suddenly we returned to the sonic horns and traces of the city. Although M is a sound film, these pockets of silence that draws its force.

Obsessive love for David Lynch for his evident throughout his work, and this is especially true in his first feature film Eraserhead. Lynch To the sounds of a film is as important as your images. Sounds include everything from the surreal music in the diegetic noise ornaments and paintings of abstract soundscapes. Children of Eraserhead paint a portrait of his vague dystopian world. The Adventures of Henry through a barren landscape from wind supplements and groans, the foreign industrial wasteland before. When Henry unravels psychologically sound design Lynch built a disturbing crescendo, a technique often used in the following movies (see: the decline of Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me or the last episode of Mulholland Drive). Eraserhead also led the integration perfect song with the story as a psychologically insightful device.

Setting the score to source

A flying character on the road in a brand new Hot Rod. He made a number breakneck speed, burning gums. At the same time, listening to rock music has eleven as a town on the way.

But when he parked the car, loud music is now much smoother, and it sounds like it comes from the radio! How could this happen? What is the difference?

When the music happen in a film, it falls into one of two categories: the source and punctuation.

. If music is a helmet, radio, speakers, even the human mouth is the source of the music can be heard characters hear the audience, and whose origin point is clear - it's somewhere in the world of cinema. Think sing to a character "Happy Birthday" or a couple dancing to the music at a party.

If the music does not come from an identifiable source, note. Can characters not on or off, and certainly can not hear it. Music is there to enhance the scene, even help highlighting the history or to join together a montage.

"A Hard Day Night" begins with avoiding Beatles Comic lot of screaming fans as they make their way to the station. Everything is ready for the title of the song, but is used as a score.

How do we know? The Beatles are running around without their instruments, and Paul is not even with them! It is tucked behind a busy schedule.

The music does not come from any part of the screen. This is only there to entertain, highlight the madness and the film imagine.

It's not too late, the train, the Fab Four to take a break from her capers and it is. For a game of cards Not too long, appear to instruments from scratch, and we have the second song of the film: "I should have known better."

This time we see the Beatles, and the music is well ahead of their instruments and voices. Here is the source of music. As further evidence, there is a small audience of young girl listening to. Since others can be heard in the film is the music source.

However, what makes "A Hard Day Night" so bright that the boundaries between the source and the score blurred. The Beatles are really playing this song in the train right now? These instruments have, after all, appear out of nowhere. Yes, we can see John Lennon singing, but the scene is more like a clip broke of a character in song and dance.

In fact, it was this film that started many techniques music video that we have become accustomed. Imagine - The Beatles innovative things that were ahead of their time. Who would have thought?

Discover the film and decide for yourself what is the origin, and what is the result. Whatever you decide to continue to inspire the eternal melodies of the Beatles and entertain us.

Dodge City VIP

A brief memory of John Lehr, alias Sheriff Hoyle

Dodge City, Kansas invited my co-creator Nancy and I are going to the party of Dodge City Days Rodeo. The last time I was in Dodge, I was 10 and had no idea what to expect this time. Quick Draw is a yes, but it was a nervous little comedy edition west made me a little nervous. It would tar and feather the city and we were pulled from the ankles? We were shocked that it is anything but. Frankly, it was the best experience of an event that I've ever had. If you do not to Dodge, you get your ass there. Speaking of butts, worked our to basics. Here is a brief reminder.

Here I explain to a mother why her son saw an episode of Quick Draw, which included a vibrator steam. You can not see her husband, who is just outside the frame ... loading a shotgun. Yes, I wear a cowboy hat and a pink shirt. I turned style Urban Cowboy. In all honesty, she had no idea who I was, and am wondering borrow my pen.

Here I'm getting ready to drive a herd of longhorn cattle in Dodge City. The man to my left is Buck Taylor, the star of the classic western Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke lasted 20 years. QUICK DRAW begins its second season. That's why Buck is the white horse and deer. My equipment was bought for me thirty minutes before this photo. My horse is trying to attract someone's attention, as if he say? "Really so small"

It was a great time for me. Believe it or not, I'm actually recorded located in the Hall of Fame Wild West, near Hill Casino and Resort Boot, which organizes the event. Larry, the man who is responsible for the operation, but do not tell me that lava used instead of cement for unknown reasons.

This time warmed my heart. Yes, like me, Nancy is still paralyzed by lava, but hell, she's officially in the Hall of Fame! I told Nancy to wear this hat Quick Draw one-of-a-kind for it again with a cowboy. It worked. Nancy edited the show, but now it is the finger that we have to find someone else.

And the love flows maintained. Here I am at the top of the cemetery outside the notorious law. I opened Boot Hill as an official Honorary Marshal Dodge City. Hell yes. My partner is honored Johnny Crawford star of The Rifleman. Law of mine is Brent Harris, the face of Dodge City, or drunk man fell from the stage. Just do not. And before you poo this price you need to know some other fees quarterbacks: JFK, Ronald Regan, Duke Ellington and Johnny Cash. Nice.

Thank Dodge City !!!
