Revisiting the score

-

 Day 167


April 14th, 2024


My next task is to review the score for the film. I plan on accessing it on Spotify, and I’m hoping for a positive experience. Earlier, I mentioned that the score felt inconsistent when paired with the film. However, listening to the score independently might give me a fresh perspective. It would be pretty interesting if my perception of the score changed after hearing it outside the film’s context.


The way I perceived the score changed after listening to it alone. I found that the music translated better when heard independently compared to when it was played within the film. Despite this, the tense moments were still present, and I could tell where the composers intended to take the music. However, I felt that the score was toned down in the film and wasn't allowed to be an integral part of the story. In my opinion, the film could have benefitted from allowing the score to play a more prominent role in enhancing the overall experience for the viewers.


The musical score of the film lasts for a little over an hour. From what I gathered, the score was somewhat present in the movie but was subdued by the dialogue. However, it effectively conveyed the tension and drama of the scenes. My only concern is that I wished the score had been more prominent in the film's final cut.


Overall


6/10

  Day338 October 2, 2024 I loved the Pee Wee Herman reference in the film with the line, "I know you are but what am I?" It was a humorous and nostalgic moment that added a touch of lightheartedness to the scene.

Holding onto a memory

-
  Day 310 September 4th, 2024 As a child, I believe that my experience of being frightened by a My Buddy doll is what has instilled in me a deep appreciation for Chucky. It's a memory that has both positive and negative aspects, and over time, I've come to value its impact on my life. Since 1988, I've held onto a vivid memory. Over time, I transitioned from being terror-stricken by anything related to horror to developing an appreciation for horror films. In the initial stages of this project, my primary focus was on Freddy vs Jason. However, after 300 days, I found it necessary to diversify and acknowledge that I've also dedicated a significant amount of time to watching Child's Play.

Completion anxiety

  Day 312 September 6, 2024 I've just realized that as the deadline approaches, I need to watch the Spanish version of Child's Play in order to fully complete that part of the project. On another note, I'm still making progress with listening to the book. This will certainly help me when it comes to reading the final four scripts, as I'll have a better understanding of the background and context.
