of visual representation. This is the story of an iconic film that implements on screen visual cues to promote the same values held and exemplified by the governess’ character. From its title sequence to its closing credits, Robert Wise’s The Sound of Music (1965) uses visual design to express themes of liberation and nonconformism by contrasting oppressive environments with onscreen elements that represent personal freedom; the blatant disparities are the result of character placement and shot composition

topic of how math applies to music, more specifically how sound waves are transmitted. My passion for music urged me to research the sounds that are made and how they are produced. Music is transmitted through sound waves, which are very similar to the sine waves studied in Trigonometry. The differences in the waves result in a different sounds that are transmitted. Vibrating objects travel through a medium (the material that the disturbance is moving through) to create sounds at a given frequency. The
The Sound of Music is a most well- known musical movie from 1965, it was inspired by the story of Trapp Family, and the Sound of Music has rewritten by George Hurdalek which he only used the partial ideas by the biography and recreated a new romance story in 1939. There are many iconic clothes in this film. It might remind most of the people about the scene of Maria sew new outfits for Captain’s children, but I found Maria’s outfits are very interested when I looked soberly. At the beginning of the
To see the importance of sounds in TV or film, perhaps it is best to see the importance of sound in life first. It is what we experience through the senses that make life meaningful. In fact, it can be acknowledged that what is experienced through the senses is life itself. The two higher senses, seeing and hearing, are the integral fundamentals of life. They are the basis for all human’s activities. Impressions obtained through these two senses are as important as food and water. The most important
The Significance of Sound and Music in The Tempest ‘The Tempest’ is on a basic level a play about a magical island, complete with its own wizard, monster and handsome prince. However, it is much more than a fairytale. Complex themes such as usurpation, colonialism and the supernatural are interwoven into the plot to produce a play so diverse that it is widely considered to be one of Shakespeare’s finest works. Music and sound are dramatically significant in this diversity. This makes
For this quarters culture project I went to go see the Fremd production of The Sound of Music. The play takes place in Austria during the time of Nazi rule. The play starts with a woman who is trying to become a nun but, all of the other nuns don't think she is capable of being one. So they send her off to be a governess to the kids of a high ranking Austrian military captain. Upon her arrival she quickly notices how strict the captain is as well as how disciplined his kids act. After the captain
romance novel, it is serious and somewhat slow-paced. The Sound of Music is possibly the happiest musical of all time. Written in the fifties and becoming one of the worlds most famous movies in 1965, the songs are about goat-herds falling in love and whiskers on kittens. Jane Eyre and the Sound of Music have several differences in their moods, settings, and endings, yet they share similarities
Sound, music, and hearing have always been a big part of my life. As a lifelong musician, I value my hearing a lot. After playing music on stage at high volume for more than 15 years, I experienced a nasty tinnitus scare. This led me to begin looking into how to protect my hearing. These steps included reducing each member’s volume as well as the overall stage volume so we were able to hear ourselves with less volume. Eventually, with the adoption of in-ear monitors (IEMs) across the band to manage
happiness to me and makes me forget all the negative feelings I had before listening to it. The symphony reminds me of the Waltz scene in the Sound of Music which was my favorite part of the whole movie. It flows and brings all the emotions I felt watching that scene. The transition of the symphony brought on the memories of this scene in the Sound of Music. I chose this piece over the other ones because this is the only one that brought happiness and memories the very first time I heard it. It brought
Music and Sound Used in A Streetcar Named Desire A Streetcar Named Desire-Music and Sound. In A Street Car Named Desire Tennessee Williams uses music and sound to help symbolise certain themes, help build on characters and create different types of atmosphere. He uses things like the ’blue piano’ and the polka music to help do this. Tennessee Williams uses the ’blue piano’ to symbolise the life in this play, it shows the general atmosphere of the play. At the end of the opening stage
Music is an art that combines vocal and instrumental sounds to produce something that gives different emotions to the listeners. Music can make a person sad, happy and romantic at the same time. Playing an instrument is also a music, not only singing a song. I had this misunderstanding that music has the song and the musical instrument included in it. But I realized that musical instruments have more importance and beauty than a song including in it. According to the Birthplace of articles
Julie Andrews performance in The Sound of Music was anything but ordinary. Andrew’s role as Maria secured her tittle as one of the greatest actresses of her time, though The Sound of Music was only her second onscreen performance. She played the role of Maria with such strength and kindness yet, in a very assertive manor; when standing up for the children against Captain Georg Johannes Ritter von Trapp. In the film, being it a musical, Julie Andrews shows off her stunning vocal abilities with her
pick a book and movie that I have read so many times that the pages are worn down and dog-eared and a movie that I viewed enough times that I could pass as a cast member, then I present to you: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and The Sound of Music starring Julie Andrews. Both this film and book are widely acclaimed pieces of literature and thespianism. Both of these works deal with many of the same issues such as love, war, the loss of innocence, and leading female protagonist
The first of the five films I picked is The Sound of Music. In this film, an Austrian becomes the governess to the many children of a widowed Naval officer. The audience for The Sound of Music is certainly the family. The element in the story which leads me to believe this is the fact that it is a musical. Nothing terrible happens to anyone in the film. The worst that happens is they flee Austria as the Nazis are coming to power, but they do so successfully. The emotion I normally experience when
The Sound of Music is a timeless classic that has captivated the attention of many ages. Based off the beginning events of Maria von Trapp’s book The Story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, the overall view of the Von Trapp family in the film is kept intact. Maria Augusta Kutschera joined the family in 1926 as a tutor to the children and later married their father, former Navy officer, Georg von Trapp. As World War II progressed, the family became more well known for their musical talent, which was
Are Oscar Hammerstein’s musicals characters in Carousel and The Sound of Music a true representation of women and family structure in the period they were written? Between 1945 and 1959 Oscar Hammerstein wrote two hit musicals Carousel and The Sound Of Music In this independent project, I argue that despite their different time settings these two musicals explore social issues of the day, including women’s rights and transmuting roles in America’s culture, sometimes directly and sometime obliquely

"Representation in Music" by Roger Scruton and "Sound and Semblance" by Peter Kivy Can music represent? Does it matter if it can? Roger Scruton and Peter Kivy tackle these two questions in two articles concerning music’s representational powers: Representation in Music (Scruton) and Sound and Semblance (Kivy). Scruton takes a two-pronged approach to the question of musical representation arguing that 1) music cannot represent things and 2) even if it could, such representation is irrelevant
