Mus 67 Film Music
Assignment 11

Due Friday 2/26 3:30 p.m.

Watch--and take notes as you do--Lecture 8: Music of the Western (18:55)
Here are some questions to keep in mind as you watch the video:
- What are the disadvantages of an adapted score, and how might that choice influence the film's dramatic effect?
- What are some of the different approaches to scoring Westerns, and how do they have different effects?
- How might the expectations of a genre either inhibit or encourage innovation in scores?
Go to Sakai->Forums->8 Response to video lecture 8 and write a paragraph response. You can respond to any of the above prompts or simply write your own unprompted critical thoughts on this topic. You may also read (and respond to) posts from others in the class, but your ideas should be your own. The paragraph should cite the video where appropriate and consist of at least 200 words.
