sounds and genres

I never really though sound would make such a difference in a movie. Its really interesting how you can put a different song and the whole movie gives you a different feel, like in the West Side Story video but now its a zombie- version. I've seen that movie so many times and I never though that you could make that movie actually give you the feeling of a horror movie. When you watch the regular movie, you wouldn't think any of the scenes were scary but the way the modify it really changes it up. Just watching the trailer of The Shinning gives you the creeps but when you add the "happy" music, its pretty funny how you look at it. The music and sound for a movie is basically the foundation it seems to me.
