For your final project, you will perform a \u201ccommutation\u201d exercise (examples will be shown in class). You will choose a short sequence \u2013 between 2 and 5 minutes \u2013 from any film clip available on YouTube, and completely rebuild the soundtrack using music of your own choosing. You will write an accompanying 5-page response (double-spaced) discussing your scene and changes, and we will screen the end results for the whole class.<\/p>\n
Some questions to consider: How does music function in tandem with visuals, sound effects, and dialogue to create the mood of a scene, and how does music relate to cinematic action? Whose emotions does the music align us with, and how? Analyze the music in your original chosen scene, and discuss its style, placement, and effect. Then explain why you chose the music you chose, and why you placed it where you did. What were some challenges or surprises you discovered along the way?<\/p>\n
