Analysis of this exercise

 * This seems trivial
 * Creating the sound of joy and other sounds with delicate rhythms might seem very simple, almost trivial. But it is very important.


 * The secret is this kind of music can be played softly in the background of a conversation without interfering with the conversation. There is very little music that can be played during a conversation.  This is one of the few kinds; single notes being the other.


 * When played softly, this music brings an energy to the spoken words... without being obvious or distracting.


 * It is just a simple trick. But it a very useful trick.


 * Try some more
 * So now, try creating more moods with delicate rhythms!

Do the math!

 * Transitions vs. delicate rhythms
 * Transitions are another kind of music in movies. Many people think that transitions are more important than delicate background rhythms.  Wrong!


 * Let's look a the math.


 * 30 to 1 ratio
 * The average scene in a motion picture is 3 minutes long.


 * The longest edit in a motion pictures is usually 6 seconds.


 * That means the mood can change 30 times each scene.


 * That means you can create moods with single notes or delicate rhythms 30 times each scene.


 * There is only one (1) transition per scene. That is a 30 to 1 ratio in favor of delicate rhythms and single notes.


 * Conclusion
 * Therefore, transitions are not much help creating the mood for a scene.
