Music that tells a story

 * Today, you will hear music which tells a story. This is called narrative music.


 * This quiz gives you wonderful examples of narrative music.


 * When you hear certain music, you know exactly what is happening or what will happen. This music is narrative music because the music is telling the story.  The audience does not need to see anything to know what will happen in this scene.


 * On the right are eight pieces of music which tell a story or create a mood.  Listen to the music and tell me what mood you feel when you hear this music.  (1/2 point per answer.)


 * Cultural differences
 * Some of the music is based on culture. Since these pieces of music are from western Europe, they might not have much meaning in Asia or Africa.  But in Asia or Africa, there are other pieces of music which have similar meanings.

The situation

 * You have just received a script which has a scene of kids at a birthday party.


 * The scene is short.


 * Your budget is small.


 * You must decide!
 * Look at your two options to the right and decide.


 * [[Image:Crystal Clear app xfmail.png|24px]] @undefined - 1 point

Option #1
 * style="width: 45%; background-color: #f0f0ff; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;" |

1. Spend lots of money.
Hire a set decorator, build a fabulous movie set, get lots of extras, and spend a day shooting the scene.

This will cost lots of money so your investors (your parents, aunts and uncles and the local dentist) will be very angry.

Option #2
 * style="width: 45%; background-color: cornsilk; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 200px;" |
 * style="width: 45%; background-color: cornsilk; border: 1px solid #777777; vertical-align: top; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px; height: 200px;" |



2. Use narrative music
Just use the principle actors on a very small set with no establishing shot.

Then use narrative music to tell the audience that this is a wonderful birthday party.

Using narrative music will save you a huge amount of money and is done very quickly.
