The Power of Music

Visual is there to tell you WHAT to think about
Music is there to tell you HOW TO FEEL about what you are thinking about.

Assignment:

Compare how music can change one's perception of a movie clip.
Using the examples in class as a framework;
a) show movie clip with no sound, then
b) play the movie clip with a song that you chose, and then
c) play the movie clip with the original soundtrack.

Talk about how you feel about each.
Does the music change your perception of the clip?  If so, how?
Also, find out why the director of the film chose that music.

Please blog your presentation, including your examples and where you got your information from.

Choose wisely.  Remember, try to find examples that change the perceptions.

 Due Date: October 13th
