My Favourite Film Score

My favourite film score is from Jurassic Park (1993). This was composed and conducted by John Williams. John Neufeld orchestrated most of the cues while Alexander Courage orchestrated three and Conrad Pope partially orchestrated two others. The name of this film score is Jurassic Park: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and the reason I like it is because of the way it creates a childlike sense of wonder and fits into the fantasy adventure tale.

It’s use of soaring strings and dramatic brass allows an ominous tone to represent the danger that lurks within the park. The suspense it creates conjures up a feeling of adventure and adversity which is precisely why I think it’s one of the best film scores made. It’s also  number 44 in the “Top 50 Best Film Scores of all Time”.

White balance

This is the original photo with a slightly higher shutter speed due to the outside light balance being different to instead

This is the same photo, but with the white balance as ‘daylight’. This setting has the lowest colour balance, the image is darker and can be considered more warm colours

This is the same photo with the white balance as ‘white fluorescent’. Since this setting has the highest colour temperature, the image looks much brighter and there is too much light in the image

Finally, the setting ‘cloudy’ is used to give the photo a bright tinge. This has a higher colour temperature so the image is quite bright but not to the point where it affects our ability to view the photo
