visual/ audible combination

I have been searching for an example of a visual and audio combination that i felt was amazing. this was a difficult assignment for me because many of the things i see or hear has a powerful effect on me. I am the type of person that listens to music not merely for the tone and melody or beat as most of my peers seems to follow the message or feeling meant by the authors tone. i view movies in much the same way, what moral or message was the writer attempting to get me to see. paintings or visual art has the same effect i look for the message or the feeling that the artist was attempting to convey not by simply with their title but with their stroke or use of media. that is why this is so difficult to pick only one form that combines both visual and audio. but since this assignment requires that i pick only one and explain my choice i suppose i will have to choose something .

so i choose this, in the movie some kind of wonderful from the 80's there is a point where the tomboy who obviously has a crush on her best friend asks him to pretend she is amanda jones the popular girl he is taking out. She asks him to show her he can deliver a kiss that kills, in the beginning the music is nervous and eratic just as their heart beats are probably at the moment they are going to kiss one of their best friends. as the moment ignites passion between the two characters so does the movement of the music almost matching the intensity of the kiss. your emotion follows the beat of the music and intensity of the kiss. when the kiss breaks it shows her embarrassment because the kiss one that killed not literally but it was all that she wanted it to be the music dies down after that. i could show this on many movies not only with passionate but with anger, sadness, pain, pleasure, and joy. the artist's that create the music to match the moment have a job to make the music flow with the emotions the directer and producer want the audience to feel. just as its the cover artist of a novel wants to entice the reader to read, or the cover artist that wants the audience to buy the movie or record they take whats inside and pull it to the art on the front in many cases of movies or books but in music records they take the emotion from the records contents and place it on the front or find some vibrant eye catching image or design to attract the attention of the purchaser. in the 80's they used designs with geometric or vibrant colors to attract that attention. the era had a lot to do with the way they designed their covers for both movies and records for example you would never see a tie die cover in the 50's like you would in the seventies or a geometric design of the 80's on some country album in the 60's. so you see it is not easy to pick one instance or image or audio that meant something to me as there are many different sides to my personality or mood that allows me to feel one thing at one time or another that i probably would not feel at a different time. its a fact that as i get older i do not feel the same about movies or music that i did when i was say twenty or so. things that are important now was not important to me then and vice versa.

that is all i have to say about the visual/ audible combination blog assignment.
