Thursday 15th March: Music and Audio

Today we watched parts from American Beauty and watched the Shawshank Redemption to get a feel for music, how it can be used and what might make good music. I felt I learnt a bit with both films adopting the if its serious make it silent. Meaning if something important, serious or dramatic is happening in the scene there was often no music. I guess this helped build up the tension. But for whatever reason, it seemed to work.
