He always felt he didn’t really fit into the skating scene and tried to do things in his own unique way. He says that he wanted to embrace the things that were unique about him. You can look different; you can be different – that makes you unique.

The commentator says at the end: “Nothin’ but energy, nothin’ but light”. Elladj Balde expresses himself whilst dancing on ice and he uses his own kind of music which he then interprets through dance and movement.]]> 2021-01-31 19:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsE_Music/express_yourself/wish/1146147812 Emotions - StoryBots MrsE_Music https://padlet.com/MrsE_Music/express_yourself/wish/1146152079 Emotions – Superbots – happy, sad, grumpy, love, silly

How's the mood during sunrise in the opening scene from: "The Lion King"? 

Is it mystic, is it kind of sad, silly in a way, dark and scary, or is it in fact majestic and heroic? 

Let's see if the music can alter the mood of this well-known Disney film. 

We all know that music can affect our mood. Music is used to affect us in commercials, in stores, in restaurants, on the radio, on TV, and even when you're standing in an elevator. But can different types of music change the way we feel when watching the same clip over and over? 

That is what these videos are all about. It's an experiment: How big an effect does music really have on film? First we see the clip without any music, then five different types of music, and at the end we watch the clip with its original intended film score.
