As a group, create a timeline of what happens in the music for these cues and how it corresponds to the events in this clip of the film. Include any recurring themes or motives, changes in instruments or texture, and how the music relates to the drama and visual elements. Because several of these cues are long, I have asked some groups to analyze just a section of a clip.
| Group 1 | ET: "3 Million Light Years from Home" | Beginning to 3:27 |
| Group 2 | ET: "3 Million Light Years from Home" | 3:27 to the clip's end |
| Group 3 | ET: "ET and Me" | Beginning to 3:40 |
| Group 4 | ET: "ET and Me" | 3:40 to the clip's end |
| Group 5 | ET: "ET in the Forest" | Beginning to 2:24 |
| Group 6 | ET: "ET in the Forest" | 2:24 to the clip's end |
| Group 7 | ET: "ET Phone Home" | Beginning to 2:45 |
| Group 8 | ET: "ET Phone Home" | 2:45 to the clip's end |
These are two clips from the film Jurassic Park, one with only the sound effects and dialogue and the other the final version with John Williams' score. (The timings differ slightly because of cuts in the version without music.) You can watch and listen to the whole clip, but each group will create a timeline of what happens in just one section. As before, make note of musical characteristics and their changes and how they are related to the visual and dramatic elements.
