MOMI Trip

The portion of the MOMI tour that I found most interesting was the music matching demonstration using a scene from the movie 'Casino'. I chose this demonstration because-well, 1. I was a lot more vocal during this part of the exhibition than any of the other portions, and 2. This particular aspect of media production directly ties into the issue my partner and I currently having with our final project. Music and sound in general are extremely quintessential and important aspects of production. Whether it's incorporated into movies, TV Shows, or even video games, it is crucial to have the right music or score playing simultaneously with the moving image so that it creates the right tone and feel for the particular scene that is currently playing. This helps invoke the feeling that the director of the shot wants to convey to the audience as a whole. This really put my and my partner's positions into perspective when it comes to editing. There are slight variations with our short film and the movie clip that was showcased at the museum. Our film creates an entire narrative, so that means that we either incorporate several musical scores or one that completely encapsulates the tone that we're going for.
