Citizen Kane
Music and sound can be used to control feeling during a scene. If the makers wanted the scene to sound happy, they make the song upbeat. It the wanted to make the scene feel sad, they play it slow, kind of like a durge. I am going to use two examples of how this is used in Citizen Kane. When Kane bought out the editors of the newspaper, they played "Kane's march" happy and upbeat with a marching band, with show girls. When Kane lost the election. They played that sound slower and more depressing and quieter. Sound can be important also. To make Kane seem stronger, they made his have a booming voice on top of everyone else. If he needed to seem weak, they make him sound quiet and sheepish.

This blog is nice and short easy to comment on. It might not fit the length requirements but what do I care. I think you could have gone into a little more depth about the musical motifs. You could have talked more about that symbolic crap that those lit teachers want us to wast brain power looking for. You are a rat bastard. I hope that last sentence provided some constructive critcism for you.
Yeah the sounds were a big thing, I thought the movie overall was just too loud. Especially that transparent bird and Susan Alexander... are my ears still bleeding?
Well, you only talked about the music and you talked about the music in great detail. However, I would have mentioned more about the cinematography, acting, and others since they’re just as big, if not bigger, then the music. Still, like I said, you critiqued the music effectively.
Yeah, I agree with how the sound and music really helped with the emotion the scene was trying to produce.
I feel the same way. I think that the sound make the movie have more excitement.
