My Soundtrack

Hi everyone!
Here I am again with a new project: the importance of music in cinema. From my point of view, this is a very interesting topic, but it seems that some people don't take that into account.

Music is one of the most important elements in a film. When we are watching a movie, half of our attention is focused on what we are seeing, and half of it ,on what we are listening. Apart from special and sound effects, music is the responsible of expressing emotions to spectators, to show us happiness, sadness, suspense... in other words, without music, we wouldn't know how to feel in almost any scene. Without music, a film is anything but a boring video without any emotions. 

It is also very important to know what type of music fits better on each kind of film. For instance, a horror movie wouldn't be as scary as they are without an appropriate music, likewise an action movie would be a bit dull if it wasn't for its music.

And now, after all I have said, I want to talk about one of my favourite film soundtracks. I have lots of favourite soundtracks, not only from films, but also from videogames and anime. I strongly believe that these last two have the best soundtracks when talking about entertainment industry; but when talking about films, my favourite one is, without any doubt, "Married Life", from the film "Up". It may sound funny for some people, as that music comes from a cartoon, but I have to say that there are lots of cartoons that can transmit very intense emotions, and they do it much better than a current movie would. Although I've already grown up, I still love watching my favourite cartoons from my childhood, and Up is my favourite one. That film is amazing, not only because of the great story and its outstanding characters, but also because of its incredible soundtrack. This song matches the film perfectly because, as you are watching it, you can share the protagonists' feelings of living forever happily with the beloved person. But, what I like the most from this song, is the amount of feelings and emotions it can transmit, from happiness and joy, to sadness or even nostalgia. That song can make you imagine what the life of the characters was like. And that's incredible.

I love this music, I love this movie, and I will keep loving it forever.

Soundtrack Project

Hi everyone!

Welcome again. Here you have my Soundtrack Project: Noise. To make a clear noise contrast in this short film, I decided to use this scene, where you can see an apple being peeled, while the spectator can hear the annoying sound of a chainsaw. I think the result is very funny.

Hope you enjoy it!

My Silent Movie

Hello everyone!

After a while, I'm back again, and this time, to present my Silent Movie, called Wash your Hands.
This quarantine is negatively affecting us, and that's the reason why I thought It would be nice to make a funny film, representing how stressed we are in these times, shown in a very cheerful way. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Stop Motion Project

Stop Motion Project:

This time, I've finished my Stop Motion project, which took me a lot of time as I had to take over 300 photographs. Here's the result:


The main topic I've chosen for thi project is the art of creating paper figures, called origami. I thought It would be interesting to see how a paper figure creates itself.

Cuts and Transitions

This time, my partner and I have worked on one specific kind of transition: the Smash Cut, where one scene abruptly cuts into another.

This technique is used in the cinema with a narrative or emotional purpose, occurring at a crucial moment in a scene where a cut would not be expected.


In this scene, taking advantage of the fact that the highschool was almost empty, we recorded the quiet surroundings, just to abruptly change to a scene where we can see lots of people and hear an annoying ringing noise.

Harmony and Contrast

Colour is very important when taking pictures, since you can give very different meanings to the same picture just changing the colour of our image's elements. To explain what i'm talking about, and to show the difference between a contrast and a harmonious photo, I've taken this collection of images, which reflects the way I perceive my sourrondings and the place where I live.
