Blog Assignment #4-Music from Film, TV, or Video Game

Post a youtube link to a song from film, TV, or a video game and describe why you chose the song.

Tell us how it makes you feel, and why the music is a great fit for the visual aspect.

I chose a song from the Dark Knight Rises. The composer is Hans Zimmer. The music in this scene adds a whole lot of tension and urgency. There are many big dynamic swells or "crescendos," that add to the overall mood. The brass and the percussion make the piece quite explosive. The chanting of the men in the pit compliments the intense orchestral arrangement underneath. It is a pivotal scene in the movie where Bruce Wayne faces his fears and comes out victorious. The composer uses silence @ 1:16 and it is very effective when the thunderous cheers come in with the music.
