My second project has proved to be a different kind of challenge, with learning music theory I’ve had to gasp sheet music and that is hard for me to grasp. I had no previous experience with sheet music so learning the circle of fifths and what notes are in-cooperated into sheet music was hard to comprehend. It was difficult taking so much knowledge in crammed 3 hour sessions, and I would often have to review the topic after the lesson had finished because I found it hard to understand.
In the first week I learned about how music affects film and how music can change a person’s perspective. I did my own research and found out about diegetic music and non-diegetic music.

In this post I was able to learn about how music or audio in general impacts how the audience’s perspective can change. With is it opened up my perspective to how film in-cooperates audio and how music changes a scene’s tone and narrative.
In week 1 I was invited in to a lesson with my tutor where he first got us to listen a musical composition called Beth’s theme in which we explored How Beth’s theme impacted us as an audience, what it made us feel, what we thought the composition was trying to show us.

He also had us listen to how music can impacts our perspective with a scene from LOTR which I explored in a post here;

Overall, the first week consisted of establishing how music can effect an audience, and how different compositions are from singers, and what effect compositions can have on the audience.
