Final Assignment
For your final, you will select an album, a film, or theatrical
performance to analyze from the approved list that follows.
This task is similar to the midterm. However, these are larger
works, and your analysis will necessarily be more in-
depth. Like the midterm, this analysis should be your own,
unique thoughts and ideas. Please do not use outside source
material for your assignment.
Your task is to create an informative and visually attractive
PowerPoint presentation. Your PowerPoint is due by Saturday
at noon on week 8. You should post your PowerPoint to the
final forum link in Moodle link on our week 8 page. Your
PowerPoint should include the following:
Slide 1: Include your name and the discipline you’re going to
focus on (music, theater, cinema).
Slide 2: Identify the artist, show a clip or visual representation
of your selection, and discuss why you find the work inspiring.
Why did you choose it?
Slide 3: Give your reader information about the work. What is
it?
If it’s music, is it an album, a symphony, an opera? What is its
form and genre—classical, jazz, fusion, rock, rap?
If it’s a theatrical work, is it a play, a musical, or improv?
If it’s cinema, what is its genre—narrative, documentary or
absolute? Is there a more specific sub-genre you can identify?
Slide 4 and 5: Each of these endeavors has a creative director.
In these slides, you will discuss the choices that those creative
directors made. What are the elements you notice in the work?
What are the moving pieces? How is it put together?
If it’s music, is the piece instrumental, vocal, or a
combination? What instruments are employed? What is the
timber and tone of the piece? What do you notice about beat,
tempo, melody, harmony, texture, and dynamics?
If it’s a theatrical work, what do you notice about theater type,
scene, set design, costuming, and lighting? Are there
discernable acts? How does the plot unfold? Can you identify
the plot elements of complication, reversal, climax, and
denouement.
It it’s a film, what do you notice about the mise-en-scene?
What do you notice about the types of shots the director
employs? What do you notice about the editing and the kinds of
cuts he/she uses? Do you see anything interesting or important
with lighting?
Slide 6 and 7: In these slides, discuss how the work stimulates
the senses. In the context of a larger work, like these, this is
how all of the individual elements come together to create a
whole experience.
If it’s music, how does the composition flow? How does one
song transition to the next? Does an upbeat tempo lead to a
more somber offering? What is the effect of this juxtaposition?
Is there a message to the album, opera, or symphony? What is
that message? What does the artist/composer want you to know
or understand? How can you tell? What aspects of the
composition contribute to this idea?
If it’s a theatrical work, how does one act move to the next? Is
the production theatrical in nature or realistic and life like?
Does the actors do a good job revealing each character’s
motivations? What do you notice about the mood in the work?
Can you identify a place where the mood changes in the work?
What causes this change? It is lighting, or dialogue, or
staging? What message do you think the playwright wanted to
send? How can you tell? What aspects of the production
contribute to this idea?
If it’s a film, consider the story. How does the story unfold?
Consider the camera work and the different editing decisions.
What message do you think the director wants to send this
film? How do you know? What shots contribute to this
message? What images help send this message? How does
editing convey this idea? What do you notice about lighting or
sound that helps send this message?
Slide 8: What is the overall experience of the work? How does
it make you feel? Rate the work on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, five
stars being the best. What aspect did you find enjoyable? What
aspects were less so? Would you recommend it to a friend?
Remember, this is a final assignment, so it’s heavily weighted.
Please devote an appropriate amount of time and effort to this
task. You will be graded on the content of each slide, the
imagery on your slides, and the conventions of your text.
Please refer to the rubric for more detail.
You MUST choose from this list. If you want to analyze a
different work, you MUST ask for approval from your professor
no later than Week 6.

Final AssignmentFor your final, you will select an album, a film.docx

  • 1. Final Assignment For your final, you will select an album, a film, or theatrical performance to analyze from the approved list that follows. This task is similar to the midterm. However, these are larger works, and your analysis will necessarily be more in- depth. Like the midterm, this analysis should be your own, unique thoughts and ideas. Please do not use outside source material for your assignment. Your task is to create an informative and visually attractive PowerPoint presentation. Your PowerPoint is due by Saturday at noon on week 8. You should post your PowerPoint to the final forum link in Moodle link on our week 8 page. Your PowerPoint should include the following: Slide 1: Include your name and the discipline you’re going to focus on (music, theater, cinema). Slide 2: Identify the artist, show a clip or visual representation of your selection, and discuss why you find the work inspiring. Why did you choose it? Slide 3: Give your reader information about the work. What is it? If it’s music, is it an album, a symphony, an opera? What is its form and genre—classical, jazz, fusion, rock, rap? If it’s a theatrical work, is it a play, a musical, or improv? If it’s cinema, what is its genre—narrative, documentary or absolute? Is there a more specific sub-genre you can identify?
  • 2. Slide 4 and 5: Each of these endeavors has a creative director. In these slides, you will discuss the choices that those creative directors made. What are the elements you notice in the work? What are the moving pieces? How is it put together? If it’s music, is the piece instrumental, vocal, or a combination? What instruments are employed? What is the timber and tone of the piece? What do you notice about beat, tempo, melody, harmony, texture, and dynamics? If it’s a theatrical work, what do you notice about theater type, scene, set design, costuming, and lighting? Are there discernable acts? How does the plot unfold? Can you identify the plot elements of complication, reversal, climax, and denouement. It it’s a film, what do you notice about the mise-en-scene? What do you notice about the types of shots the director employs? What do you notice about the editing and the kinds of cuts he/she uses? Do you see anything interesting or important with lighting? Slide 6 and 7: In these slides, discuss how the work stimulates the senses. In the context of a larger work, like these, this is how all of the individual elements come together to create a whole experience. If it’s music, how does the composition flow? How does one song transition to the next? Does an upbeat tempo lead to a more somber offering? What is the effect of this juxtaposition? Is there a message to the album, opera, or symphony? What is that message? What does the artist/composer want you to know
  • 3. or understand? How can you tell? What aspects of the composition contribute to this idea? If it’s a theatrical work, how does one act move to the next? Is the production theatrical in nature or realistic and life like? Does the actors do a good job revealing each character’s motivations? What do you notice about the mood in the work? Can you identify a place where the mood changes in the work? What causes this change? It is lighting, or dialogue, or staging? What message do you think the playwright wanted to send? How can you tell? What aspects of the production contribute to this idea? If it’s a film, consider the story. How does the story unfold? Consider the camera work and the different editing decisions. What message do you think the director wants to send this film? How do you know? What shots contribute to this message? What images help send this message? How does editing convey this idea? What do you notice about lighting or sound that helps send this message? Slide 8: What is the overall experience of the work? How does it make you feel? Rate the work on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, five stars being the best. What aspect did you find enjoyable? What aspects were less so? Would you recommend it to a friend? Remember, this is a final assignment, so it’s heavily weighted. Please devote an appropriate amount of time and effort to this task. You will be graded on the content of each slide, the imagery on your slides, and the conventions of your text. Please refer to the rubric for more detail. You MUST choose from this list. If you want to analyze a different work, you MUST ask for approval from your professor no later than Week 6.
