Remember to answer each question for both scenes you have chosen.

In an effort to help you internalize everything you’ve learned about film music, you now get to choose the film scenes that you will talk about. Make sure to follow all of the directions and answer all of the questions that are asked, but please do not simply answer the questions in bullet points. This is meant to be a short essay that reads and flows like a paper for any other class.
