Essay Instructions: Film Music: Compare and Contrast Essay

Choose one of the two options.

A Compare and Contrast essay of a minimum of 650 words on the two different scores to a movie of the same name. (a remake) Some great examples are: Oceans 11, The Preachers Wife, Psycho, Manchurian Candidate, Miracle on 34th Street, Cape Fear.

Another option would be to campare the two available music scores to the movie Legend. This movie starring Tom Cruise, is a great example although you will need to find the DVD not the video. The DVD includes the option to watch the film with original Jerry Goldsmith score or with the score performed by Tangerine Dream. Again, it is neccessary to have the DVD, the video will not give you both options.

Each essay should reflect the concepts and ideas that we have used in our lessons and must be entirely in the student's own words.

The emphasis must be on aural observations of the music and how it relates to the film and not on descriptions of the composer's lives. Do NOT include biographical material. Do NOT include historical material.

Do not copy directly from internet or books. You need to use your own words.
