Composer of famnous Scores

Right were to begin well we had Jaws A vilan with only two notes. composed by John Williams in 1975 but also did work on Et and Close Encounters again all impressive scores but nothing comes almost nearly as close as striking fear into someone.

Chariots of fire, the very beginning of electronica it brought the use of synthesisers to the fore front composed by Vangelis in 1981.

When you look at new composer for moves you might look at epics like Lord of the rings Howard Shore. has been their but funnly enough he also worked on Eastern Promise and a history of violence both films directed by David Cronnenberg whos work i have already looked at but when watching i did not pay as much notice to the music unlike the Lord of the Rings where the music carries you and brings a very large emotional link to it.

A man i regard very highly for his contribution to the films that he worked on with music on Bullitt with Steve Mcqueen and Dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood. both have a very jazzy feel but tie in perfectly being in San Francisco in the 1960's.
If you have a look at his lifes work the list for film music that he has done goes on Enter the Dragon all these films the music not only gives you the emotions from the movie but gives you a kinda feel of the characters in the movie, (their backgrounds). More recent Films have been the Rush Hour Scores which again capture the characters within the music, althought the characters are all quiet similar therefore the work he's involved have made him typecast.

David Cronenberg a director; I have just seen eastern promise and which I really enjoyed. The story line is very good and it seems both in this movie and History of Violence the plot is spread out and stretched to its maximum to keep the viewers attention.

The Direction is very clearly done the images are clear and well presented all the feelings come from the characters attitude towards each other.

Favourite Music Producers or Engineers would have to be Alan Parsons and Jimmy Page. Alan Parsons Worked on albums such as dark side of the moon at abbey road Studios. I would like to think of myself along the same lines not yet at his standard due to the differences in technology and music preference but the way n which he was a composer musician and engineer allowed a different insight the way in which he could play along with the band and understand exactly were they were going.

Another Abbey roads engineer that I admire is George Martin who put together The Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, he however was more an engineer than anything else, getting into audio technology in the navy as a radar/sonar operator.
