Previously, students obtained disks from the Star Movie Shop. They no longer sell disks to the public.
I still have copies of these disks and I can loan the disks to you if you promise to return each disk in one month. (The disks are not copy protected.)
When you are ready, tell me that you want to borrow the disk called "Green Tea Smoothie". clicking here

When you complete a long musical cue for this scene and returned the disk to me, you quality to borrow the next disk.
Switching roles
Pretend you are the filmmaker
For this assignment, you must switch roles and pretend you are the filmmaker.
The spotting session
Decide what music is needed.
Very easy assignment
All you have to do for this assignment is tell me what music is needed for this scene.
If you are the filmmaker, what music would you ask for from the composer?
Hint
What are the moods of the scene and exactly when do the moods change?
Go watch the movie!
This motion picture was released in the USA as Uncorked. In other territories, this movie had many different names such as On Sachem Farm, Higher Love and Trade Winds.
I suggest that you rent the film of this motion picture to get a better understanding of the moods in the movie.
Joe Mac lists the moods of these scenes - 27 October 2007 - 20 points
Joe Mac roughed out the score in just two hours. The cues are stored here in the OGG file. Remember to start you cues at the beginning of the film scoring project movie so syncing them to the movie is easy.
I'm looking at it right now...........if i get to decide what the prevailing mood of a scene is, rather than taking direction on this........... i'd like to know more of the story than the scenes reveal to me. Since it's not my movie, some guesswork would, it seems to me, be involved. Having said this;
Cue #1 (Click here to listen to the cue) - the opening...cue one: .......assistant is happily making the main event, so i'm thinking uplifting, even majestic, orchestral background music to the creation of the drink.
Cue #2 (Click here to listen to the cue) - the host rushes in, admiring look on assistant's face as she gives him the drink.....no music. when he says 'now all i need's a straw,' cue two: something troubling sounding, trailing off..... this so we know there is a problem if there are no straws.........
Cue #3 (Click here to listen to the cue) - host brings drink to guest in sitting room, presents it apologizing for there being no straws available. Guest takes drink, looks it over, and opens his briefcase, to obtain a fancy, and unusual looking plastic straw. cue three : (Gong rings as he places it in drink............... oriental music in background as he begins to sip.)
Cue #4 (Click here to listen to the cue) - host is so surprised by this move, he wonders aloud if this is really the guy he is supposed to meet...........when guest challenges him asking if passport should be shown, cue four: same theme used when straw was asked for by the host in the kitchen (cue two)
