1. Interpreting Music When Paired with Film Alex Hays

2. Three Ways of Pairing Music with Film

3. Music that was composed to be paired with film How music is influenced by the context of a plot and a visual. Not including sound effects - only musical scores. 1

4. Films that use pre-existing popular music as a soundtrack Compilation soundtracks or 'mix tapes' 2

5. Films that have been edited and paired with music Not music videos, which is film created for music (Fantasia being classified as a music video) I'll also edit a film to a song that feels fitting 3

6. Focus

7. Music composed for film Clint Mansell composing for Darren Aronofsky (π, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) Les Triplettes de Belleville - Benoît Charest Amélie - Yann Tiersen 1

8. Film using pre-existing songs for soundtrack Shortbus - Various Modern Artists 2001: A Space Odyssey - Various Classical Peices 2

9. Film set to music YouTube creations (e.g. Arcade fire/Once Upon a Time in the West), and the video I create. Arcade fire/Once Upon a Time in the West 3

10. Aspects notably ignored...

11. Silent Movies Interesting in a factual and historical sense but the reason sound is used in silent film remains the same today - for vital emotional cues. This also applies to documentaries.

12. Musicals The music is a part of the plot and so on its own it is simply referencing a physical happening. Its to literal, no level of abstraction.

13. Evaluation Criteria

14. Music composed for film Is it clear what is gained from the addition of music to a visual, and vice versa? How can music aid in plot development? ?

15. Film using pre-existing songs for soundtrack Is it clear why that particular music was chosen? ?

16. Film set to music This is something that either feels right or wrong, it's not particularly explicable. That is why a song/film edit is required. The final video will either feel right or wrong. ?
