National Treasure

I stumbled across a pretty good song to use for this blog when I overheard my roommate watching the UD movie channel and heard the same song over and over again. The song I chose was "Ben," by Trevor Rabin; from the movie National Treasure. In this movie "Ben" is played many times all throughout the film. It is first heard in the beginning of the movie during an action scene. It is somewhat loud and energetic. The next time you here it is when the main character, Nicolas Cage, appears to be thinking about clues to find the treasure. In this instance the music builds from soft to loud the closer he gets to the right answer. This is kind of where one would hear a theatrical build up. The closer the clues would get him to the treasure the louder and more energetic the music would get. At the very end once he finds the treasure the music is at its most triumphant sound level. This is the climax of the movie. This is also the resolution because the movie kind of ends on that note being that he found the treasure. This song is also played in the credits at a more mellow sound.
