Sergio Leone sergio leonie was an ittalian film director, producer and screen writer. His style of flms was spaghietti western. he had a verry strange style of film making these included juxtaposing, extreane closeups and lenghty shots.
Sergio Leone, born in 1929 in Rome, son of silent film director Vincenzo Leone, is best known for the creation of the spaghetti westerns. After making and writing several sword and sandal epics Leone decided to adapt Yojimbo, a samurai film by Akira Kurosawa. Leone turned it into the western A Fistful of Dollars in 1964, starring an unknown Clint Eastwood. Leone got much of his style, both in the complicated mise-enscene and the use of Ennio Morricone’s music from Yojimbo (but not the trademark Kurosawa wipe edit). A Fistful of Dollars created the spaghetti western genre which encompassed more than 200 films, sharing the features of being created in Italy, frequently being filmed in Spain, featuring self-assured killers with no names, scores either by Ennio Morricone, or in his style, and, of course, the shootout.
Leone’s style grew from imitating Kurasawa to his own style, which uses editing in combination with Morricone’s scores to create incredible emotional peaks, dramatic camera movements, and, his trademark, the extreme close-up of the eyes of the characters. After A Fistful of Dollars came For A Few Dollars More, and finally, the ultra-classic The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. These are considered a series, since the main character is always Clint Eastwood, and he always lacks a name. The next Leone film was made in 1968. Once Upon a Time in the West is a significant departure from Leone’s earlier westerns. This film is stylistically a spaghetti western, yet Leone directs this film with incredible care and beauty, matched only by Morricone’s classic score. Once Upon a Time in the West represents a quantum leap forward in film-making for Leone. The scenes are slow, beautiful, and powerful.
once upon a time in the west is a very good example of the use of sounds being used in a scene to enchance the mood and atmaspheier to make you emersied in the scene.
the screen shots bellow show the sences on which i am talking about also to watch the scene it can be found here :
the opening sequence scene to the film is prime example of this as he has the scene playing in pure silence no speach and then he has his sound effects for example the floor board creeking and chalk on the board exagerated. he also has all the other sounds exagertaed so u can hear them clearly but it does make you feel the scene alot more and makes you wonder what is happening and why is it so silent. from this i kearnt that i enjoyed listening to his sequence over and over agin getting a clear understanding why and how come it works so well.

Ennio Morricone, Grand Officer OMRI, is an Italian composer, orchestrator, conductor and former trumpet player, who has written music for more than 500 motion pictures and television series
once upon a time in the west The turning point in Morricone’s career took place in 1964, the year in which his third child, Andrea Morricone, also to become a film composer, was born. Film director Sergio Leone hired Morricone, and together they created a distinctive score to accompany Leone’s different version of the Western, A Fistful of Dollars (1964).
Morricone’s score for Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best-selling original instrumental scores in the world today, with up to 10 million copies sold, including one million copies in France and over 800,000 copies in the Netherlands. One of the main themes from the score, “A Man with Harmonica” (L’uomo Dell’armonica), became worldwide known and sold over 1,260,000 copies in France alone. This theme was later sampled in popular songs such as Beats International’s “Dub Be Good to Me” (1990) and The Orb’s ambient single “Little Fluffy Clouds” (1990). Film composer Hans Zimmer sampled “A Man with Harmonica” in 2007 as part of his composition “Parlay” (from the soundtrack Pirates of the Caribbean - at World’s End).
so without the music and the sounds of ennio mrricone the the distinct amazing once upon a time in the west wouldnt be the film is is today and wouldnt be anything sounding and impressive as it is.
charles baudelaire Charles Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet who also produced notable work as an essayist, art critic, and pioneering translator of Edgar Allan Poe.
Autumn
Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows, And all of summer’s stunning afternoons will be gone. I already hear the dead thuds of logs below Falling on the cobblestones and the lawn. All of winter will return to me: derision, Hate, shuddering, horror, drudgery and vice, And exiled, like the sun, to a polar prison, My soul will harden into a block of red ice.
“Who among us has not dreamt, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and rhyme, supple and staccato enough to adapt to the lyrical stirrings of the soul, the undulations of dreams, and sudden leaps of consciousness. This obsessive idea is above all a child of giant cities, of the intersecting of their myriad relations”. charles uses his descriptive language in poetry to describe sounds in a text format than in a audio format
I shiver as I listen to each log crash and slam: The echoes are as dull as executioners’ drums. My mind is like a tower that slowly succumbs To the blows of a relentless battering ram. It seems to me, swaying to these shocks, that someone Is nailing down a coffin in a hurry somewhere. For whom? -- It was summer yesterday; now it’s autumn. Echoes of departure keep resounding in the air.
quotes of charles The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs. An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/ authors/c/charles_baudelaire_4.html

“I’ve convinced myself that within everything that surrounds us, there are hundreds of ideas and connections waiting to be found. We just need to look hard enough. Some of my ideas develop from observations on human behaviour and I express them through the objects I create. I also experiment with materials to try to find surprises that can’t be found simply by thinking with a pen or a computer.” Dominic Wilcox
Suzy O’Hara from Thinking Digital Arts teamed me up with a technologist called James Rutherford to create an artwork currently on show at the Sage Gateshead music performance centre. I came up with the idea of making some ‘Binaudios’ that are like tourist binoculars except you can ‘hear’ across great distances. For example, point the Binaudios towards the football stadium and you will hear the crowd chanting, turn it again to the river and hear a boat moving on the water. I set about recording over 50 sounds around Newcastle including things like street performers, the train station and the local Grainger Market. I also used some historical sounds like the sound of the long since vanished shipbuilding in the 1970’s and King George V’s opening speech of the Tyne Bridge in 1928. Then I sketched out how the Binaudios would look. James worked out, using electronics, how to make each sound be heard when the binaudios pointed towards the location of the original sound in the distance. This gives a real feeling that the Binaudios can listen across a whole city. We worked with a local company Raskl to fabricate the Binaudio object and James hid the electronics inside the structure. I wanted the Binaudios to appear to really listen to sounds far away without the technology behind it being visible.

Michael Mann His next film The Keep (1983) was, in retrospect, an uncharacteristic choice, being that it is a supernatural thriller set in Nazi-occupied Romania. Though it was a commercial flop, the film has since attained cult status amongst fans.[citation needed]
Michael Kenneth Mann (born February 5, 1943) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. For his work, he has received nominations from international organizations and juries, including those at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Cannes and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. His major films include Heat, The Insider, Collateral, Ali and The Last of the Mohicans. Mann is now known primarily as a feature film director and he is considered to be one of America’s top filmmakers. He has a very distinctive style that is reflected in his works: his trademarks include unusual scores, such as Tangerine Dream in Thief or the new-age score to Manhunter. Dante Spinotti is a frequent cinematographer of Mann’s pictures. Mann’s first cinema feature as director was Thief (1981) starring James Caan.
In 1986, Mann was the first to bring Thomas Harris’s character of Hannibal Lecter to the screen with Manhunter, his adaptation of the novel Red Dragon, which starred Brian Cox as a more down-to-earth Hannibal. The story was remade less than 20 years after it came out by Brett Ratner presumably because Anthony Hopkins reprisal of the role in Ridley Scott’s Hannibal had made the character a highly lucrative property. In an interview on the Manhunter DVD, star William Petersen comments that because Mann is so focused on his creations, it takes several years for Mann to complete a film; Petersen believes that this is why Mann does not make films very often. Overall, Mann’s films mix artistry (via music, stylishness and emotional intensity) with sexuality, strong violence, humorless noir-like stoicism, and complex plot twists.

he draws writes and inks all of his own sin city comics I was always into noir. When I lived in Vermont I was drawing stuff that looked like an amateur doing ‘Sin City’. When I first got to New York I was swiftly informed that they only did guys in tights. I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman. [about his inspirations] I’m a comic book artist. So I think to myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coat. So that’s what I write about.
