Music and Pictures (AHA! Blog Post #3)




Today I was thinking about how powerful music can be, as well as images.  I was thinking about the power and emotion behind them when they are put together as well.  Seeing a picture of something, or hearing emotional or motivating music can be one thing, but putting them together makes a new kind of art form.  I think of the Olympics when I think of this because of the inspiring pictures of athletes paired with motivating music.  They have the “never give up” feeling to them. 
                              
                I also think of the commercials where they want you to sponsor a child.  They put sad pictures with sad music together to create an emotional response from the viewer.  Also, the commercials for the humane society are the same.  They create an emotional response.  Personally I think this is a great way to make people really think about what is being shown to them.  Although it’s kind of a “trick,” it’s a good trick.  It’s a way to show the emotion behind the stories being shown and give them recognition. 

Below are links to three YouTube videos that have emotion evoking pictures/music paired together:
