To Kill a Mockingbird is a book we’ve all hear of maybe you might have read it maybe it wasn’t willingly at first but you read it. And now you’re going to have the honor of reading an essay about it. To Kill A Mockingbird is about Scout Finch’s life and her father Atticus Finch he’s a lawyer and throughout the movie and the book he’s trying to prove a black man innocent for a crime he didn’t commit. Of course, Atticus tries his best to prove him innocent but he isn’t that lucky and Scout is being just a little girl gets hate at it for school and she defends her father through it all, even though there are some tough times throughout it all when she just wants to punch somebody in the face like we all do at one point or another.

For adaptation of the book and the movie it's all stays the same except for a couple parts, change throughout the movie but other than that it’s portrayed well. For the main thing the Tom Robinson trial everything that they included in the book happened at the trial. Tom Robinson is the black man that Atticus Finch is defending. For example, when Bob Ewell (the defendants father) in the courtroom, he gets up and he yells at the judge and says that’s the man that raped my daughter I know it I saw it with my own eyes. In the movie they portrayed that exactly as you would think in your mind. I think that was important because if you have read the book in the movie you would definitely be pleased with how they had portrayed that scene in the movie. Another thing that stayed the same with the movie and the book would be how Scout Finch is. In the movie and the book she's portrayed as a tomboy and she likes to get her hands dirty and not wear dresses or follow the rules unless she’s forced …show more content…

In To Kill a Mockingbird we hear all sorts of different music. And it goes with the scenes that they play in quite well because it helps you feel the emotion being portrayed. In a scene where Scout (main character) is slowly falling asleep on top of Jem (her older brother) she asks him about their deceased mother and in the background gentle easy music plays in the background. As in a way to symbolize the sadness that it brings him to think about her and the fact that Scout never got the chance to know her. And the sadness that they will shortly endure later in the movie. Then later towards the end of the movie when Scout and Jem are walking home from a school events we get another taste of the music. First it starts off all gentle like then later as they start to realize that they are being followed the music gets fast paced and scary. The music is getting fast paced and scary because it's starting to prepare you for what’s about to come which is danger. Then lastly for the music aspect of the movie when Scout is telling her father Atticus and the Sheriff about what happened on the way home and she’s telling them about the person that saved her this mysterious music starts to play in the background. The mysterious music starts playing because the person that saved her was Boo Radley he’s a neighbor that nobody has really seen in a long time.He’s mysterious and scary to most people but he was their savior

Music can make a scene more compelling because it adds emotion to a scene. For example, in the beginning of the documentary when the narrator was talking about Kristallnacht, there was a frantic orchestra accompanying his more and added sound effects of glass breaking. It makes a person feel more anxious and frightened of what is to come and sets the tone for the documentary, since the event of Kristallnacht is one of the best pieces of evidence as to why Jewish people need to be able to escape the terrors of Hitler’s control as soon as possible. Another example is when there would be a transition of a scene to the Klein family, and the music had a melancholy tune to it and it added more to the scene to draw out more emotion from the viewers.

In the book To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee Jean Louis (Scout), is the main character of the story. Juts like the movie, Scout is a young girl looking back on her life with new relizations of what it all meant. The book and the movie both do an extrodanry job on building up Scouts’ character on who she actually is, and what represents in the story. As the book developes, it is easy to see that Scout is not like other girs in 1930’s, she is a tomboy (probably because she does not have a mother), she is outgoing, and wise. Although, the scene where it shows how Scout is smarter than the children in school is not in the movie, it is mentioned in the movie; when she explains to Atticus that she no longer wants to attend school( Harper Lee.

Specifically, in Edward Scissorhands, the fighting scene where Edward and Jim were in Edward’s attic and in the background, the music was loud and fast to show that it was a fight scene and that someone was going to be hurt or killed. Music changes throughout a movie to capture the mood of a particular scene and to evoke emotion from the audience. In Edward Scissorhands, the suburb is associated with light­hearted music and dark gothic music is associated with Edwards home, the mansion. The light­hearted music gives the audience the illusion that the suburb is happy and safe and the dark and eerie music gives the mansion an illusion of creepiness. Music can also relate to sounds in a movie as sounds can be used to have the audience hear if it will lighten up the mood in a scene or make the scene seem scary and eerie.

I personally enjoyed this scene the most in both adaptations because of how true and real it was. While reading it you could feel the raw emotion that came from Tom robinson and how heartbroken he was and you could see that portrayed very well by the actor in the movie too. TOm robinson not being guilty which was well proven by Atticus Finch through out the trail, and still getting the guilty verdict was just all too real to things that took place in the courts then and sometimes can still happen in todays juries and

While music may sometimes play the role of brightening a mood or bringing people together, the role it plays in film is to let the audience know how they are supposed to feel. Music has a very dramatic effect on the way one watches and perceives movies, and many people believe we experience a film only through our eyes; however, we are also experiencing just as much of the film through our ears. Jaws, Star Wars, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and Out of Africa are the some of the most glorified movies for music and would be unimaginable without their iconic scores (MacAulay). Without the use of music in film and especially horror films, the audience would not know what emotion they are supposed to be experiencing during a certain scene. Music

Starting from the opening sequence, first together with a dark scene a classical music sounds and suddenly it is interrupted by the loud music which creates a creepy environment.
