John Williams

The famous composer I’m going to be talking about is John Williams. John is American and 83 years old his birthday is on February 8. John has composed many famous/popular iconic theme songs in movies in the world. One of them being the Star Wars theme song.It its heard right in the the beginning of the movie.

Another famous popular movie he composed with is Jurassic Park with Steven Spielberg. I have seen the movie once long time ago when i was a toddler so i don’t have a lot of memories that I can use to talk about this one. But the most popular track from Jurassic Park would be the theme song.

Jaws is another movie he composed. Jaws is a suspense horror movie that many can recognize by its iconic theme

    Jaws has a lot of film techniques but the ones that stood out to me the most were really exciting like the eye level shot, where the woman is in the water and all you see is her face and some people swimming behind her. She appears to be pretty calm in the start but then she sees he 's sharks fin out of nowhere. The camera then points to to the shark fin. Then the eye level shot points back to her where she makes the expression that she would have if a real shark were to be there, which gives us a feel for what we would do if we were in her place.

    In Hollywood, it’s rare, very rare for a name to be associated with as many great projects as John Williams is. Aside from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, I can think of no one but Williams to sit on that throne, and rightfully so. The films he composed for are now either cult classics, regarded as genre-starters or artistic masterpieces. It is virtually impossible to list all of Williams’ scores, specially when most, if not all, are considered works of art that deserves full on explanation of their whys and hows. Having said that, some of his work reached and surpassed your good ol’ epicness level to reach a whole new level. Of those works, the most notoriously known is Star Wars.

  • Letters From Iwo Jima Essay

    1304 Words  | 6 Pages

    Clint Eastwood’s 2007 war film, Letters From Iwo Jima, showcases the haunting events of World War II’s battle for the island of Iwo Jima. Eastwood’s unique style of storytelling through flashbacks and graphic battle scenes (a style also used in his other works such as American Sniper) combined with the intense, real cinematography, strong characters, and a lingering soundtrack make Letters From Iwo Jima worthy of its best picture nomination. The theme song music from the film is meaningful and powerful and simultaneously tells a story of its own. As soon as the film ended, I decided to learn the theme song on piano- any music I want to learn to play myself is music that I consider to be powerful and memorable.

  • E. T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

    1002 Words  | 5 Pages

    I choose to review the musical score of the movie “E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial” which was composed by in approximately 1982 by John Williams. The score of “E.T.” is one of only five other scores in history ever to receive an Oscar, Golden Globe, Grammy and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music. The original “E.T.” soundtrack included eight scores by John Williams. These tracks all fall within the classic genre he is known for but to the untrained ear it sounded like so many more due to the difference in their sounds or because of the different instruments that were used to play them at other times in the movie. Having watched “E.T.” a couple times before it was obvious that I had never really listened to or paid attention to the music and how it affected the whole feel of this movie.
