Planning and discussion
We listened to a variety of different soundtracks with visuals and discussed and noted words and phrases to describe the mood, atmosphere and tension. We thought about how music can enhance or change the tone of a film. Next, we watched the 1901 silent film A Trip to the Moon again thinking about the soundtrack that would accompany the film including the dynamic, texture, tempo and timbre.
The film was the separated into 5 parts and each group given a section of the film to create the accompanying score.
The outcomes were truly magical…
