I've heard such amazing things about the Museum of Moving Images- but I have never been there until our class trip a few weeks ago. It surprised me that a place of such great history was literally minutes away from my home and I never knew about it.
The exhibit that caught my attention the most, was definitely the Music/Sound demonstration. Although I have watched numerous movies throughout my lifetime- thus far, I never realized how important of a role music plays in specific scenes. The clip the tour guide showed us was from Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 "Vertigo." We watched the scene repeatedly with 4 different music clips and each example gave the scene a different feel to it. It reminded me of when I watched Amityville Horror with my cousins & we muted the TV for all of the "scary" scenes- those scenes lost the sense of terror because the music wasn't there. It's difficult to explain, but I definitely suggest to try it with the next movie you watch.
Honestly, I cannot wait to visit the museum again and actually take my time and stroll through each individual exhibit because there is so much history in one building and to have it all in-front of me was just breathtaking.
