Dope (2015)


Scene: Jibb, Diggy, and Malcom are at a party where a purchase of high-grade molly is interrupted by an armed gang, and several people are shot. Malcom escapes as the police arrive.


Being a hip-hop head Dope would be a dream project for me. The soundtrack is littered with golden era classics. Which is why it confuses me one wasn’t used for this scene. Instead they use a dance song, even though hip-hop was playing in the club right before the shootout. This classic song is by classic west coast group Cypress Hill, off a classic west coast album. The song with its frenzied manic beat and lyrics about a shootout directly mimics the on-screen desperation and fight for survival.

Introduction

I’m Dillan Rigney and music is my absolute passion. I’m still alive today because of it. What follows my love of music is the desire to share and showcase it. What better way to do that than music in film? In addition, the beautiful marriage of music and visuals can impact a movie-going experience in immeasurable ways. It can establish deeper connections, highlight diverse cultures, and most importantly evoke emotion. I once read that music in films can not only increase a viewer’s empathy for on-screen characters, but also of the people around them. That is a profound concept to me that I would like to be a part of. So to show you how I would do that, here are some movie clips I put together that are re-imagined with my own vision. Watch, enjoy, and hopefully you will walk away with a sense of how important we are to one another. ***Disclaimer these songs were not chosen under normal music supervisor conditions. I am aware you do not get to choose whatever song you want and that...
