A neat video looking at the music that Howard Shore composed for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and his use of themes / leitmotifs to emphasize or play with different aspects of what we saw.
I love the LotR sound track, and was aware of this on a few levels, but it's neat being spelled out. Even if one of the score images is inverted a couple of times.
ads are getting increasingly obnoxious.
but worth watching all the same.
Done properly music guides the emotional flow of a film. Done masterfully, and it takes the film to a whole new level.
