This week we were introduced to the fourth task.We were asked to write music for a 2 minute scene from a film. I chose the scene from “The Lord of the rings- The Return Of The King” where Sauron is defeated by Frodo throwing the ring into the fire of Mount Doom. I chose that scene to show different emotions. On one hand, Sauron and the Orks are defeated and dying, and on the other hand good has won over evil! So i will combine a melody for death and evil with victory and good. I started this task using a choir, some strings and sounds of rocks falling down. I am also trying to figure out a melody that would suit the action of the tower collapsing.

Moreover, we looked at the first film of George Lucas and F.F.Copolla ,that they did in college, called “THX1138″. In this movie, there is a variety of sounds synchronized with machines that examine a man on an operating table. We also viewed films where the wilhelm scream audio sample was used.
