> Not to turn Tone Shifting into a film theory debate, especially here ;)
You have good points, I choose the wrong words perhaps... I'm not concerned with Spielberge's intended meaning, I'm concerned with the [un]intentional effect - the effect of total realism in that film. People, such as artists or directors, may do things for often different reasons that they say, even if they have no idea what that hidden reason is... As far as your bringing up effects in music, you have points there too, adding definition to where there is little. When richie (he's the best person to discuss because he is so well known) uses effects, perhaps we can say that those moments are him speaking out to the crowd, or him telling the crowd to do something, then when he bangs the beat back in (like he does so well;), the listener is thrown back into there own creative state, returned to the state of the toneshift. So the use of effects, are like tossing the creative process back and forth, from artist to listener - interaction... when a person over uses an effect, the crowd tends to get annoyed, perhaps this is because there is too much artist definition when the listening mind wants more freedom? I think maybe... Back to speilberge for a sec. Could it not be considered that the red dress was the one moment where spielberge spoke out his views, comparable to richie doing effects or playing nitzer ebb? The one moment where the artist wants to tell his total view? darw_n but I had to jump in. > Keep in mind, a major factor in using Black and White film is the red girl. > To stretch this specific analogy to music is difficult, but I think that the > clever use of effects is similar, in that sound takes on new life beyond the > range of the pallette (as defind by the song before effects were added).
