I wanted to do something on the media because it is so widely exposed to almost everyone on the planet. I am having difficulties choosing the topic because media is so broad.
Possible Questions:
How has media affected peoples daily life? Improvement or Degraded?
How has people adapted to Media?
What is the affect of Negative comments on social media to different people?
Is Online media a improvement for communication of art and language?
Are movies helpful in terms of communication between countries and people?
How has movies and music affect our lives?

I was thinking about movies and music, and how to link them. Then it came to mind that there are music in films. So I decided to choose this topic.
Many films would be very different and so much less emotional if the wrong music was chosen for the scene.
So after my research, I will find classic film scenes and alter the background sound track to compare the difference and show the importance of sound tracks in my final presentation.
I started to look at links that explains the effects of music.

I looked into the the information I have wrote down previously, and I tried to summarize the information. I realized that almost all of the books and chapters I read included information about how music effects the moods of movies, and how they help people interpret and remember films.]]> 2017-11-28 22:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211193006 cecelia01090 https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211193096 In today's lesson I started to look at videos of classic movie scenes on youtube, however I found that it might be more useful if I just found trailers and edited the background soundtracks. I looked at several trailers, and at the end I have chosen the trailer of 'IT'. This is because it is a horror film, and I wanted to see if changing the background music will change the mood and in someway make them less scary. I used an online converter to download my video and I started to look at editing it in iMovie.

I also started to look at the change of music that I could use instead of the intensive drums and mysterious sound effects used in the film. I chose the song "Blowin' in the wind" by Bob Dylan, because it is very calm and no very strong in drums which will reduce the tension in trailer.]]> 2017-11-28 22:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211194568 cecelia01090 https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211194788 Today I started to edit my final product which is going to be a trailer with altered background music. I fist separated the sound track with the movie so I will not be deleting scenes in the trailer when I edit the sound track. I deleted all the intensive drums section and kept only the parts where there are lines spoken by characters. I also put in some fun clownish sound effects to make it funny and less intense. I then put in the sound track of Bob Dylan's song and produced the final product.

I chose the song 'Chunky' by Bruno Mars, because it is a song that included a lot of instruments and other elements, and it is helpful because it is a trendy pop song and has no connection to horror at all. ]]> 2017-11-28 22:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211203741 cecelia01090 https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205013 2017-11-28 22:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205013 cecelia01090 https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205485 2017-11-28 22:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205485 cecelia01090 https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205784 2017-11-28 22:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205784 cecelia01090 https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205876 2017-11-28 22:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia01090/14l403q1a2ig/wish/211205876
