For this assignment, you will need to select (2-3) films with different composers and discuss the use of music in two (2) scenes from each film. Start by describing the scene and then consider the following:
• How does music enhance the scene?
• Does the music elaborate or detract from the scene and how so?
• What was the intent of the music used for the scene?
• How does the music in the scene make you feel?
• What emotions did you feel while watching the scene?
• Were you frightened, struck by terror, or sad?
• Did your emotions change during the scene?
• Would other viewers share your reaction or react differently and why?
Sources/Documentations: Your essay must include at least 2 documented sources for each film discussed in your essay. You should also strengthen your arguments with quotes from the evidence and elaborate on each point of view. Be sure to analyze the evidence as you research it. Do you agree or disagree with the author’s position? Look for statements by the composers themselves.
Scaffolding:
• Provide a one-paragraph statement explaining why you chose the films you plan to select and a thesis statement in which you will discuss how you will identify or define the main issue. Why are you personally drawn to the music in these films? This is due (11th week; 1st day). (15 points)
• Once approved, an outline of your essay using complete sentences and a bibliography of sources is due (14th week; 1st day) during which you will make a case for several of the questions suggested above. (15 points)
• The final paper is due to be submitted in the assignment box in Blackboard by Wednesday of finals week. (70 points)
