For those of you who haven't seen the movie Friday Night Lights I will try not to spoil it for you. For our class with Mrs. Brinkman we are supposed to reenact a scene from a film, or make our own scene, then use different types of music to project a different feel to the video. We (Eric, Austin, Hayden, and I) decided to do the inspirational speech at the halftime of the teams highest and most challenging game of their career. The speech is given by Coach Gaines, played by Eric, and the prayer at the end is led by Roger, played by Austin. The basis of the speech is that it isn't about winning or loosing, but about being perfect. Which isn't about the scoreboard but knowing that you did your absolute best and you didn't let your teammates down.
Why are scary movies scary? I believe that what scares people the most is not knowing what will happen and also the music that adds a lot to the mood of the movie. If you listen to the sounds of the movie, the music and background songs, then you will be able to tell when "something" is about to happen. One example of this is when our class watched Cher Noble and right before a huge grizzly ran through the group of people and freaked everyone out, there was a long pause in the music that led me to believe that something was going to pop up and I wasn't as scared by it as some people were. . .Logan.
Why do some films make you cry? I personally try to keep my emotions in check and don't usually cry even if a film is sad because the films are usually fictional and didn't actually happen. The reason that most people cry at sad or emotional films is that they draw you into the story and make you feel as if you are a part of the actors' lives.
