My feeling is if it needs music may be the video/ documentary or what ever, isn't really worth watching. |

The movie editors have a lot of features that we like to experiment with. Music in the background can be OK as long as it does not drown out other essential sounds. Many movie makers do like to incorporate Hollywood type effects. Too many of these effects can be overpowering. Simple scenic shots can be ruined by overuse of these effects. Action shots can be enhance by use of effects, including the addition of music. TV ads can be a pain in the butt because they are louder than the program that you are watching. |

I was watching a film by that guy with a cats name that thought he was tough and yet he ran to Canada to escape the draft but then made a few films portraying himself as a tough guy in Vietnam. Anyway someone thought it would be clever to have the camera turn upside down in one scene. Absolutely pathetic as it added exactly nothing to the film and wasn't even clever. |

This sort of thing is fine for amateurs to play around with. When viewed by an audience this would appear more as a technical glitch rather than a clever effect. Maybe his world was turned upside down. |

| 1215856 | 2011-07-11 01:55:00 | Yeah, that'd be right. I'm finding the newer ones are being peppered with over-dramatic sound bites -GROWL !! They're most likely designed for DD5.1 sound but you only get them here in 2CH stereo.. |
