Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe

movie-most important things is story and then music

things music does to movie

• emotion-draws out emotion of the character. music changes when character realizes something. changes when scenes change. but doesn’t change to anther music. just changes the frames of the music
• motion-time passing as well as physical motion
• montage
• motivated

types of music

• score-written for the movie, audience hears it characters don’t
• song
• source-when character can hear it. sound effects

watch movie over n over again as if you’re watching it for the first time  and observe how movie plays

music should be about focused character

music to link ideas throughout movie

music changes the mood of the scenes and according to the progress of the scene

put it music in the last stage after all editing is finalized

Ten Things I hate about you- best music editing movie
