MOMI
Costumes, make-up used, and masks from movie
sets, such as Jim Carry's face from The Mask, are on display in The Museum of
the Moving Image. One demonstration that stood out was in the sound exhibit,
which held a sound studio as well as demonstrations that played scenes from
movies and television shows without their musical score and had four song
choices for users to integrate into the clip. This was done to see which genre
of music portrayed the emotion and action of what was actually happening. It
showed that the musical score must relate to the scene and help it progress,
not stand-alone. Some examples the demonstration used was the movie Twister
with the options to choose between electronic fields 1998 randy Clancy,
concerto for cello and orchestra by Richard Danielpour, Georgia on a fast train
by burnt toast, and wheatfield by mark Mancia—the actual Twister original
soundtrack. Another movie used in this demonstration was Independence Day. Mars
bringer of war by Gustav Holst, Gabriel's Oboe by Ernio Morricone, Rammstein by
Rammstein—all songs that seem out of place—show the how musical score choices
are important within the movie and not just aesthetic choices.
