Soundtrack

and music are intrinsically inter-connected, and Mia’s passion of dance, crucial to the development of plot in the film and her character, allows for an interesting dynamic of music or diegetic sound within the film.

better' to just being downright badass. The sounds are fantastic and they will never let you forget what a dinosaur roaring in your face sounds like. The music score fits in well with the movie and the slow, piano tribute to the '93 Jurassic Park soundtrack is chilling. The actors, especially Pratt and Howard, do a good job portraying their characters, even if the characters themselves don't feel too realistic (hey, you came to watch a dinosaur movie). The story is especially linear and almost…

The rhythm of both this Action and the editing is synchronized with the rhythm of the music. The sequence uses the song Woke Up This Morning by London-based band Alabama 3. The soundtrack sounds busy all the time, but it is also able to build to a climax heard simultaneously with the shots of longer duration at the end of the intro. Mobile camera work during the longest shots diverts attention from its duration, and allows time…
