As I've watched the film I noticed things I've never seen before. For example, there is a scene when the oldest daughter sneaks out to be with a young man and they have their first kiss in the gazebo. As the scene takes place you can see one of the lights and the barn door housing in the shot. The light that is shown is giving the backlight effect in the shot and I actually don't mind seeing the light. The lighting in this film is incredible, and what stands out to me about the light is how they use shadows along with light to tell the story. Today you never see movies shot in this manner, but I love this method of lighting.
Yesterday I had a shoot and the movie was deep on my mind as I decided on the lighting. Here is an image from yesterday's shoot inspired by The Sound of Music.
Feel free to share your images and tell us what moved you about this film on Twitter. You can add the hashtap, #soundofmusic to your post. Next week we will take a look at one of my all time favorite movies and continue with lessons taken from the silver screen.

LOVE this! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to have to sit down and watch that movie again now... Have a good weekend!
I have to say that I did this unintentionally years ago and now I do it alot when I just want to see something and not hear it. I have always thought that this movie was spactacular and it still remains one of my favorites. I knew as soon as you mentioned the title which scene you were going to talk about and that it would be the lighting. The first time I saw that scene I was a teenager and it forever stuck out in my mind as being dramatic and romantic. The other movie you should try this on is Legend, especially in the beginning with the water and the sunlight.
