Narrative Themes In Gil Junger's Music

384 Words2 Pages

The music chosen by Gil Junger is molded on the narrative themes. For example he manages to share his vision of Kat through the use of two songs at the beginning of the movie. As a car appears at the beginning of the film and the teenage girls in it start to sing along to the song “One Week” by the Pop/Rock band Barenaked Ladies, which is all male bad, whilst Kat listens to “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. By using this strategy, Junger managed to show the audience Kat`s character and also, the contrast that is between being popular and unpopular. The use of Joan Jett and the red vintage sports car that Kat drives helps the audience understand just how much she cares about how other perceive her and the power that others might

  • Analysis Of Reel Injun By Neil Diamond

    320 Words  | 2 Pages

    Neil Diamond 's documentary “Reel Injun” depicts the historical portrayal of the treatment of the First Nations in America. It brings awareness to the truth behind not only First Nations, but other stereotyped groups. For example, that many people often mistake all members of the Muslim community as Extremists who commit inhumane acts of terrorism. Small percentages of the population who fit the stereotyped criteria may often unintentionally represent their background negatively and as a whole. These are then misinterpreted by society ultimately having a biased view on groups of people.

  • Racism In The Sapphires

    310 Words  | 2 Pages

    The movie the sapphires use racism as a struggle that the girls must get through in the movie and I have chosen two scenes in the movie where it is most dominant. The scenes that I have chosen include the opening scene where the government consisting of all white men try to take the children of the aboriginal community. My second scene that I have chosen is the when Gail and Cynthia go to get Kay from the white people where you notice the different between how the white people live rather than the aboriginal live. In the opening scene, we see the four-girl singing traditional aboriginal songs in front of a large aboriginal crowd because it is someone’s birthday.

    302 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sarah Koenig’s podcast "Serial" utilizes numerous narrative techniques such as foreshadowing, suspense, and the use of "cliffhangers" to further develop the connection between the narrator and the audience and keep the listeners coming back. Sarah Koenig frequently uses cues throughout the podcast to foreshadow information that will be released to the audience later on in the podcast.

  • Bad Blood Taylor Swift Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    549 Words  | 3 Pages

    In my opinion, I think that the main point of the words and lyrics in the “Bad Blood” is the betrayal and how it changed the relationship. As what she was mentioned more than once, “You made a really deep cut, and now we got a bad blood” (Taylor Swift). As a result, there were many violent seconds in the video which is related to this theme and proves the change in the relationship. This happens, for instance, when she is wearing black and having the knife because she suffered from something, and this color refers to violence and hate. Based on that, I can say that the music video complements the song in a direct way.

    Music is the most significant of symbols in Oates short story to the point that it is dedicated to Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan was a popular singer of the 1960’s and many of his songs spoke out in favor of the civil rights movement and anti-war movement, perhaps Oates felt inspired by his work when she created this story. Considered a window to the soul, music plays a large role as the backdrop of the story. Throughout the entire story, the type of music and the songs playing are listed such as at the dinner and Bobby King’s radio station playing in Arnold Friend’s car. These types of music are conflicting as the music in the dinner is described as “background music like music at a church service” and the station in Arnold’s car is “hard, fast, shrieking songs” (pg 1056-1058).

    Drifters by Bruce Dawe “Why have hope?”, is the question raised in the poem “Drifters” by Bruce Dawe.

    As I look back on the past week, it has been a long journey! Throughout the course of Creative Arts II, there were many group works compared to Creative arts I. I really loved the idea of having various small and big group works and performances because it allowed us to get together and gather ideas to create a piece of art. For the final group performance, as a group, we gathered lots of ideas and discussed how the performance should be carried out. One of our ideas for the final performance was dance where we choreograph our own dance piece to a theme of life cycle and love of music.
