When watching The Wire, I noticed that non-diegetic music in the show is used very rarely outside of montages. All of the dramatic scenes, tense scenes, actions scenes have no music and are carried entirely by the careful sound design, staging, pacing and dialogue. And after that started noticing just how other filmmakers and showrunners rely on music to convey emotion or to set the mood rather excessively sometimes. What does /tv/ - Television & Film think of this?
The Wire only did musical montages to end seasons. All of the other music came from the backgrounds. They made good use of it, like shaft playing from hercs car when he was chasing some kid around
The music in avons car reverberating around the streets is really coolhttps://youtu.be/GXOGCcW8hJs
>>218703935>>218703967Are these literal bots? This is not relevant to the point of the thread at all.
>>218703895>diegeticcan immediately tell you're a massive faggot that is insufferable to be around
>>218703983I thought it was a wire thread my bad. But you’re asking a pretty retarded question, obviously they do this to make the emotion of the scenes clear, the wire was going for realism so they didn’t do that.
>>218703935>All of the other music came from the backgrounds.heavily coming from recommendations from David Simon. There were a TON of New Orleans/Treme music selections Simon shoehorned into The Wire decades before he made Treme
>>218704042what's the non gay way you would say that without having to use 10 words to explain the concept
>>218703895>What does /tv/ - Television & Film think of this?its a very gay crutch."period piece" - holy fuck they rub the shit out of that OST clit
>>218703983Its wire autism because to your point they didnt crutch themselves on anything that wasnt grounded. No painos in courtroomsBoardwalk empire did it pretty well. Tut.
>>218704057you are pathologically low iq
>>218704090>what's the non gay way you would say that without having to use 10 words to explain the concept"The wire didn't rely on commercial music in the show outside of montages"holy fuck you zoomies are incapable of any communication.Brevity, concision, get the fucking point, shit for brains
>>218704170>3dpd simp fag>low iq mongrellike potteryman it's a shame just how low IQ this board is, fuckers here don't even know the most basic-bitch film terminology
>>218704199>terminologylearn how to communicate, simply, directlyinstead of your fart-whiffing retardationyou don't make any senseconsequently, your thread is shit and no one is responding to it.I am only to call you a fucking faggot
>>218704265go watch some capeshit or tiktok slop, i suppose that is more your speed
>>218704265You really just come off as insecure and angry because someone used a word you didn’t know.
>>218703895Yes that is one of the many reasons people praise the wire, and also one of the many reasons “people” find it “boring.”That said, it does use the outro to establish scene tone via music pretty much every episode.
>>218703935Wrong. There's a scene with non-diegetic music in season 1 as Avon enters the Pit for the first time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59wofmAPVQc
>>218705096Okay, but what about other shows, films? Do you think relying on music heavily is "dishonest filmmaking"?No Country for Old Men is another example of a film with almost no soundtrack in it, I don't want this to be just a discussion about The Wire.Personally, after watching The Wire and No Country, I began feeling like it is, because if feels like a crutch for filmmakers and it's just "telling" you how to feel through music, instead of making you feel a certain way.
>>218705484>dishonest filmmakingokay now I'm with the other guy, you're a faggot.
>>218705839>with the other guyPathetic attempt at gaslighting
>>218705484>No Country for Old Men is another example of a film with almost no soundtrack in itas if that wouldn't have been made better with Mel Tucker or BEE GEES because it was in the disco era
>>218705908>nooo only one person could possibly think i'm a faggot
>>218705484>I began feeling likethat likely speaks to your dysgenic myopic sesquipedalian colloquialism that plays into the whole Dickensian aspect here
