Project 14 - Music and Movies

Week 17-18
In this project, we will integrate the use of iMovie with GarageBand in sequencing music and special effects for a short movie.  The purpose of this project is to use the mood and imagery of the “short” and create music that mirrors the moods.  Thematic repetition of material is a must.

  • Utilizes sound effects that correlate to events happening during the movie
  • Incorporates Musical Themes for each Character (Wagner = Leit Motif)
