American Beauty

American Beauty
 
 We were inspired to do a scene where Monica is lying on the floor with leaves gradually building up around her head. This image is supposed to be seductive and make you intrigued as to what the film was about. It is directed by Sam Mendes. The writing and cinematography is something else. Newman's icy sounds gave Mendes' portrayal of a dysfunctional American family its uneasy edge. This music is instantly recognisable, which is perhaps what makes it such as good soundtrack. This film made me realise how important the audio was for a film and so I will make sure the audio fits the visual and the timing is right. My favourite quote is from Buddy Kane 'In order to be successful, one must project an image of success at all times.' I think this quote is true because you only have to appear successful from other people's perspectives.
