Today we will move on to the next chapter of Film Music.
This half term you are embarking on a bigger project - composing the musical score to short films.
This will require your previous knowledge of:
The recipe for a good melody.
How music can be used within film to enhance the drama.
The musical elements structure and texture.
Take a moment to recap these three areas.
Your teacher will have given some class feedback for your 'How to Train Your Dragon' leitmotif compositions. Take notice of the feedback you receive, it will help you in your next task!

Carefully plan and begin to create a letimotif for the character, Pym.
You only need to do this today and you do not need to finish it.
