Note: This is mostly for my benefit, so if it seems disjointed and unexplained, It's coz I know what I'm talking about =D I'll try and make it readable so that you guys can give me feedback! yay!
THE PLAN:
-Analyse Text for Themes, important ideas in the narrative (as in, moods and tones created which could be highlighted by music)
-Look for music that fits general themes, whether directly or indirectly (such as using Toxic to highlight the shallowness of the mallrats, or The Carpenters because of Karen Carpenter's battle with anorexia)
-Breakdown to scenes and ... errr, sub-scenes?
-Try to fit music picked from "pool" created earlier, broaden or narrow said pool accordingly
EXECUTION (hopefully):
Themes in play: Family, Courage in the face of adversity (like in every text written in the history of the world), Anorexia (is that a theme?), The Shallowness of Celebrity Culture (lol oxymoron), The influence of Celebrity/Pop Culture, Self-image, peer pressure
Important Ideas in the narrative:
-The Idea of the Battle
- Between Family/friends and The Voice/The Circus
- Between Celebrity/pop Culture and ...other stuff (If i could articulated this better i would)
-The Ugly duckling Theme
Initial Music "Pool":
-Swan Lake Ballet suite
-The Nutcracker Ballet suite
-Sleeping Beauty Ballet suite
-Music by The Carpenters
-1812 Overture
-Assorted Pop
-Assorted Piano (But I'm trying to stay away from these as there is generally little or no information about them, they sometimes have no theme or idea behind them, or worst, are written as studies - technical work for students)
And Thus concludes part 1. Tune in next time for part 2: Swan Lake
