Final+Project!!!

//Final Project// ¯ DUE: Wednesday, June 1 (will be presented in class, if possible)

**//[NOTE: this project will be done in pairs, but each student must complete both phases.]//**

**Phase One:** You are a director who needs music to make your new movie trailer “pop” and you’re lucky enough to have a composer friend who will help you! You have some ideas about what kind of music you want, but you want something original that will complete the package. You trust your friend to come up with the score that supports your vision while allowing for unique musical expression. __The assignment and process__: Director: --Select (or create) a video “trailer” 1 to 1-1/2 minutes in length. Make certain not to exceed the time limit! --Determine some general ideas of what kind of music you want to accompany your video (mood, tempo, tonality, instrumentation, etc.) and share them with your “composer.” Make sure to keep a written list of your requirements.

**Phase Two:** You are a composer who has been asked to provide music for a film. Your director has given you some specific ideas about what kind music should be used, but has also given you some room to express your own musical vision. In order to promote your film, you need to make a trailer that will entice the viewers. __The assignment and process__: Composer: --Determine the form (structure) you think best suits your trailer --Using GarageBand, create an original soundtrack for the video that conforms to your director’s wishes and includes at least one example of each of the following: Parallelism (may or may not be Mickey Mousing) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0.65in;">Counterpoint <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0.65in;">Leitmotif <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 0.65in;">Diegetic music
