Teacher: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! Today is a very important day in your life - you will see cinema for the first time!

The teacher performs S. Joplin’s “Variety Artist” on the piano, while a silent film video is playing.

Teacher (takes off his jacket and hat): a man standing behind a movie camera, a white canvas, and a musician - a pianist playing the piano, this is exactly what cinema looked like at the end of the 9th century! Who is the founder of Cinematography? In 1889, a new invention by Thomas Edison appeared in Paris - a kinetoscope with a set of twelve tiny films. It was a cumbersome structure that made it possible to watch movies only alone, looking through a small window in the building. Based on it, the Lumiere brothers Louis Jean and Auguste Louis created a new device - the cinematograph. It was a real portable studio. The device allowed for video recording, printing positives and demonstrating video. All you had to do was open the door and install a strong light source behind the device. The film moved and a moving image was created on the screen. One of the first silent short films of 1896, produced and publicly shown by the Lumière brothers. “The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station,” which was shown by Mr. Johnny Fest, a missionary gentleman, to people who lived in the Wild West. How did they react to the very first film in the world?

Video. "Train Arrival"

Children's answers.

It is believed that at the first showing the audience was so stunned by the moving image of a life-size train moving towards them that people screamed in fear and surprise and ran out of the hall in horror. In the film "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines", Mister Johnny Fest (played by actor Andrei Mironov) comes to a town in the Wild West with the goal of opening a silent cinema there. The main entertainments of the town's residents are drunkenness and fighting. He decides, with the help of cinema, to re-educate these people into real gentlemen.

Video 4 (Mr. Johnny Fest talks about the influence of cinema on people)

And indeed, his sessions work wonders. The bandits, influenced by the comedies and melodramas they saw on the screen, are reborn and begin a new life: they quit drinking, learn etiquette and try to become gentlemen.

Video (Silent Film)

Cinema is a relatively young art, but in terms of the number of fans it probably surpasses others. A distinctive feature of cinema is that from its inception and throughout its development, it has always been accompanied by music. In those distant times, when only silent films existed, the role of music was underestimated for the visual perception of a film; compositions could only be used as musical accompaniment, which very often did not reflect all the events taking place on the screen.

And today we have to answer the question, what role does music play in cinema? Listen, a piece of music, think about what movie is the music from?

The lesson is over, goodbye.

Music in cinema 8th grade

Film music

We have already talked more than once about bold experiments in the art of the 20th century. New directions, trends, styles arose in theatre, painting, music... But the most ambitious revolution that occurred in the culture of the 20th century is, of course, associated with the advent of cinema.

At the lesson

You will learn

• Who is a taper
• When the “great mute” spoke
• How the score for The Lord of the Rings became a symphony

You will learn

• Distinguish between off-screen and in-frame music
• Understand the role of music in creating a holistic image of a film

You can:

• Understand the evolution of film music from its inception to the present day
• See different facets of the work of composers of the 20th century.

A hundred years ago - when the art of cinema was still in its infancy - filming technologies were imperfect. And the first films were shot without sound at all. That’s why cinema even got the nickname “the great silent one.”

The lack of sound was made up for in all available ways. The actors gesticulated energetically, and the plot frames were occasionally interrupted by credits. On these text bookmarks the plot was explained, the characters’ lines were reproduced...

It’s hard to imagine today, but a hundred years ago films were shown with live music. Each cinema had a small orchestra or ensemble of musicians, or at least one pianist. They called him taper

.

The pianist had to play during the demonstration of the picture. And not just play, but improvise, conveying in music the changes in the moods and feelings of the characters.

By the way, Dmitry Shostakovich in his youth worked as a pianist in one of the cinemas. And it is very symbolic that in the future he was destined to become one of the most recognized authors of film music.

Music even then had a special attractive force for the new art form. So, in 1908, the short film “Ponizovaya Volnitsa” or “Stenka Razin” was created. In fact, it was a dramatization of the famous Russian folk song “Because of the Island on the Rod”.

But the “great mute” truly began to speak only at the turn of the 20s and 30s. It is noteworthy that the first sound film was called “The Jazz Singer”. Cinema began to rapidly explore the sound space; it sought and found new expressive possibilities associated with various combinations of the visual and sound image of the film.

In the USSR, sound cinema immediately became the mouthpiece of new social ideas and socialist construction. working factory machines organically combined with mass songs. Simple and understandable, they quickly spread throughout the country and became truly popular. When searching for the authorship of the “Song about the Counter,” the Internet sometimes gives the answer – a folk song. Meanwhile, it was composed for one of the first Soviet sound films by Dmitry Shostakovich, the future author of operas, symphonies and other works of serious academic genres.

In the thirties, composer Sergei Prokofiev created music for the historical film by Sergei Eisenstein “Alexander Nevsky”

.
Tikhon Khrennikov - for the films “True Friends”
,
“Pig Farm and the Shepherd”
. The music from these films has become a real golden fund of Russian musical culture.

Musical films directed by Grigory Alexandrov to the music of Isaac Dunaevsky have become classics of Russian cinema. Melodies from the films "Circus"

,
“Jolly Fellows”, “Volga-Volga”
are still heard on radio and television.

In the post-war years, black and white cinema was replaced by color films. The transmission of bright colors has made the art of cinema even more spectacular. But the musical discoveries of these years were no less impressive. In the melodrama “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”

, French director Jacques Demy, all the characters in the film do not speak, but sing.
Just like in opera... The difference is that the melodic recitation of the actors is not similar to serious operatic arias and duets. The style is light music. Composer Michel Legrand
composed pleasant, memorable melodies, which also became true classics of the genre.

In feature films, at the dawn of sound cinema, music was divided into intra-frame

and
voiceover
.
In-frame music is performed by the film's characters. We see them playing musical instruments and singing as the story progresses. We do not see the performers of the off-screen music; it exists as if on its own, creating a certain emotional background for the events of the film. Thus, the off-screen music in A. Tarkovsky’s film “Solaris”
was a chorale prelude by J. S. Bach, arranged by the modern composer Eduard Artemyev

Composers composing music for films often use techniques of musical development that have been known since the times of the Viennese classics. At the very beginning of the film “I Walk Through Moscow”

a musical theme appears. Then, throughout the tape, it will be repeated many times. This melody with energetic accompaniment conveys the working rhythm of a big city. But she becomes tender and dreamy - as if, together with the glare of the sun, she is floating along the surface of the Moscow River...

The main character of this film flies to Moscow for one day. Early in the morning on a deserted sidewalk, he sees a girl humming something and dancing. A casual acquaintance answers his question:

- I'm meeting my husband.

- So, are you all right?

- Yes, everything is fine with us!

- But that doesn’t happen!

- And that’s what happens! - the girl answers.

And the whole film is a series of sketches from the sun-drenched, young and happy Moscow of the sixties. His characters work and study, joke and write poetry, celebrate weddings and catch thieves... And all this is imbued with such optimism, such faith in life that the final song performed by Nikita Mikhalkov becomes a convincing conclusion: “It happens

everything in the world is good..."

In other films, the musical drama of the film is based on contrasting images. There is a clash between the musical themes, as irreconcilable as the brutal struggle unfolding between the forces of good and evil on the screen.

Composer Howard Leslie Shore

– author of music for many Hollywood films. From fragments to the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, he created a symphony built according to all the laws of this serious academic genre.

The best examples of film music don't just take on a life of their own. They become special cultural markers, musical symbols, reflecting the spirit of their era, thoughts and feelings, character and hopes of modern man

"The role of music in cinema"

Performance

Slide 1.

2016 has been declared the year of Russian cinema in Russia. In this regard, I really wanted to follow the development of cinematography, and in particular, what connection does music and cinema have. And although it’s the year of Russian cinema, I decided to look into the role of music in cinema in general.

Slide 2.

You can see the relevance, hypothesis and goal on the slide.

Cinema is one of the youngest and at the same time one of the most popular arts. Cinema has a powerful influence on the hearts and minds of young people.

Slide 3.

I decided to conduct a survey among 8th grade students and find out what films they know with music in the lead role. Here are the results of this survey.

The connection between music and the visual sphere of film has historical forms. This is ancient theater, later opera and ballet, drama and theatrical plays. All these forms of fusion of heterogeneous forms of art prepared the setting for the perception of sound film.

In cinema, the visual factor predominates: here the music is completely subordinate to it. At first, the use of music in cinema was by no means associated with this tradition.

Slide 4.

When Edison built his kinescope in 1887, he had in mind to show only the change of film frames in parallel with the alternation of sounds that were reproduced on the kinetophone (phonograph) he had previously invented.

Slide 5.

The assessment of the role and significance of film music has been very different throughout the development of cinema. For example, director Alexei German wrote in one of his works: “I must say that I am against music in cinema. Music is the language in which man must speak to God, and it must be left alone.”

Slide 6.

And the Italian director Fiderico Fellini highlights music as one of the most important creative factors. According to him, “there is one most desirable thing - a real holiday for the soul: creating a musical phonogram, recording music.

Slide 7.

There are other polarizing opinions regarding the role of music in film, in particular, they relate to the question of the viability and value of musical material outside of film. Some believe that film-musical fragments can exist independently outside the film, others deny this possibility. The famous composer Mikael Tariverdiev, who worked a lot in cinema, stated: “In combination with the atmosphere of the film, the music always sounds different.” Thus, we can conclude that the functional tasks of a musical fragment in a movie must be considered exclusively in the context of those tasks that the author solves in the process of creating a film.

Slide 8.

As the most striking musical manifestations of the author’s attitude both on and off-screen, one can single out Evgeniy Dmitrievich Doga’s waltz for the film “My Affectionate and Gentle Beast,” which is a leader even among musicians in the underground passage. This romantic melody is full of passion, drama and beauty.

Quite often, the leading musical image serves not only as a conclusion, but also as an introduction (overture) to the film, thereby immediately introducing the viewer into the emotional world of the film. Musical thought tends to develop over time. As for the music sounding from the screen, it, as a rule, does not tend to develop widely and this requires the music creator to search for the most suitable option in which a variety of musical forms can be used. If necessary, the author uses detailed episodes that coincide in time with the visual ones.

But episodes where five or six minutes of continuous sound are required are rare, so the composer is often required to be able to use the main theme in different situations, and this is already a great art.

Slide 9.

As an example of the complex work that the filmmakers do on the music, and its result, I decided to look at John Williams' score for Star Wars, which was recognized as the best soundtrack in film history and was awarded an Oscar and two Grammys.

George Lucas, the creator and director of Star Wars, specifically insisted on a neoclassical soundtrack - he believed that subconsciously familiar music should create an emotional connection between the viewer and the galaxy far, far away where the events take place.

The work done by D. Williams in Star Wars is considered a benchmark - even without the context of the film, it is clear what events this or that musical theme indicates. The threat sounding in every note of the “Imperial March” has become, for example, one of the examples of modern popular culture.

We can say with confidence that in the overall drama of the film, music plays almost the main role. She not only participates in the exposition (showing) of the main active forces, but also conveys many details through “personal” musical themes. The sound design of "Star Wars" is best described by the phrase "aerobatics" - we often hear about the appearance of a threat by ear, even before it appears in the frame.

Slide 10.

Once upon a time, there was no shame in movies including classical music as accompaniment. Chopin, Haydn, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich. Their wonderful melodies have enlivened dozens of films.

At the beginning of the era of sound films, people began to doubt the advisability of using classics. The first stone in the garden of “classical killers” was thrown by David Selznick, one of the most influential producers of the thirties: “I came to the conclusion that any music familiar to the audience is distracting - even if no one knows the name of the work.”

Slide 11.

But despite this, for a long time in cinema, music was given more of a service role. The attitude towards such a function was more negative, and on this occasion D. D. Shostakovich wrote in 1937: “I believe that illustrative music cannot be completely eliminated, but it should be considered more correct that the music reveals events and the author’s attitude towards them

Slide 12.

Over the long history of quoting classics, a stable set of functions of this kind of music in cinema has formed, each of which requires separate consideration.

1. Classical music as background
2. Classical music is directly related to the action of the film.
3. The music matches the era in which the film is set.
4. Classical music is designed to depict the inner world of a particular hero, his preferences in the field of art.

Slide 13.

The musical selection for the film “17 Moments of Spring” is very interesting. The music for the film was written by Mikael Tariverdiev, the lyrics by Robert Rozhdestvensky. They wrote a cycle of 12 songs for the film. But such an abundance of songs seemed unnecessary to the director, and in the end only two of them were included in the film - the heroic “Moments” and the lyrical “Song of a Distant Homeland.” But many musical themes were borrowed from the classics.

Slide 14.

If you count how many times a particular classic work has been used in various films, you can identify the absolute leaders and create a kind of rating of geniuses quoted in films.

3rd place:

The 1st movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is heard in 94 films.

2nd place:

The opening bars of the symphony orchestra “Thus Spake Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss are known throughout the world. In cinema, the poem was quoted in 96 films.

1 place:

"Ride of the Valkyries" from the opera "Die Walküres" by Richard Wagner. This music has been used in film 153 times.

Slide 15.

When talking about music in films, one cannot help but talk about the role of the song. The song is the most memorable form of film music. It contributes a lot to the popularity of the film, and in a good film there are rarely bad songs.

Composer Isaac Osipovich Dunaevsky achieved great success in creating mass film songs .

He is one of the most famous Soviet composers. When I. O. Dunaevsky met L. O. Utesov, they worked together on the famous Soviet film “Jolly Fellows.” This became his finest hour.

Slide 16.

Our contemporary composer Andrei Pavlovich Petrov left a big musical mark on modern films .

He created music for 14 films by Eldar Ryazanov.

Slide 17.

Here are a number of other composers who created masterpieces of film music and all of them occupy a special place in cinema.

So, what is film music? Is this part of the sound design or something else? Traditionally, the first place in cinema is the verbal part, speech is what both the filmmakers and the audience pay maximum attention to. In second place is sound design. On the third - intra-frame music, which is similar in fact to noise characteristics. There is also credits music, something that is especially remembered by a person leaving the cinema.

Slide 18.

But, besides the listed factors, there is perhaps the most important one - the actual music of the film, which has its own special place.

MOUSE

And when a feature film is nominated for some kind of award, there is a separate award for the music written for the film. An example is the film “Titanic”, which received 8 Oscars, including for the music written for this film; subsequently words were written to the music - this is how the song turned out, which was a hit for a long time.

Slide 19.

From all of the above, we can highlight the special nature of film music:

1. illustrative
2. commentary
3. documenting
4. generalized metaphorical

The variety of tasks facing the musical component in the film has formed a considerable number of expressive means of film music, thanks to which the impact on the viewer that the filmmakers seek occurs.

3. Explanation of new material:

Cinema is the art of the 20th century. From its very beginning it has been continuously connected with music. The great silent cinema was called when it was still without sound. The audience did not hear a single sound from the screen, but the music helped them perceive what they saw. a pianist in the cinema

(a pianist who played the piano during the film screening). The music helped to understand and survive the events of the film, it made the viewer sad, happy, frightened and surprised; together with the actors on the screen, it was gentle and graceful, serious and funny.

But time passed, and the characters on the screen began to speak. Sound cinema began to need music even more - a wonderful means of characterizing the characters of the film, time, environment, and the entire atmosphere of the film.

Guys, have you noticed that at the beginning of every film there is always music? On the screen there is only the title of the film, the names of the actors and creators of the film, and the music is already playing. What do you think it is for? That's right, the music introduces us to the main mood of the picture, the time of the events taking place on the screen. She helps us empathize with the characters in the film.

The song not only characterizes the hero of the film, it helps the audience to better understand him, creates the mood of the film, saturates it with beauty. Music awakens our feelings and makes our perception more alive.

Today in the lesson we will introduce you to a piece of music written specifically for the movie.

It is very difficult in the second half of the twentieth century to create a film based on the story by A.S. Pushkin’s “Blizzard”, about the interesting, mysterious fate of the main characters, about their feelings and experiences that are difficult to express in words. This problem cannot be solved without the help of music. For a long time, the director of the film could not find suitable music; everything that was brought was not suitable. But still, this kind of music was chosen. It was written by the Russian composer and pianist G. Sviridov. The music sounds from the first frames of the film, as if by magical force it transports us to Pushkin’s time. Listen to the words with which A.S. begins his story. Pushkin:

“The horses are racing through the snowdrifts, trampling the miserable snow. Here, to the side, the old temple is visible alone... Suddenly there is a blizzard all around, Snow is falling in clumps. A black corvid, whistling with its wing, hovers over the sleigh. The prophetic groan says sadness, The horses are in a hurry, They look sensitively into the dark distance, Raising their manes.”

If a story begins with words, setting the reader up for corresponding experiences, then the film should begin with appropriate music. Let's listen to the piece “Troika” from the film “Blizzard”, and while listening to the music, look at the illustration of the picture that is mounted on the board, and compare this drawing with the music, what do they have in common?

♫ Listening to
music: ♫
Did the composer manage to convey the poetic intonation of the story by A.S. Pushkin, how?

What predominates in the music - the state of mind or the display of a troika that is racing?
