=HOW MUSIC CAN PSYCHOLOGICALLY AFFECT A PERSON= Hannah K.

My project is about the affects of music on people, and how it can affect your mood. In this project, I demonstrate different ways in how this can happen. I will use scenes, digital art, an outside TV show, and a small section will be devoted on showing the "music into tragedy" theory. This theory explains how a tragic event in someone's life can lead to great musical pieces. Another example of this theory is how a song can emotionally affect somebody. Kristina: Enjoys listening to music, and is a generally happier person. Charlotte: Doesn't enjoy music in the beginning, and eventually begins to enjoy music and slowly becomes a generally happier person.
 * INTRODUCTION**
 * CHARACTERS**

Act I: Kristina walks down the hallway, rocking out to music from her iPod. She is dancing, and bumps into Charlotte, who is upset and doesn't understand why Kristina likes music so much. Kristina continues listening to music and walks away. Charlotte: Ow! Why did you do that? Kristina: Sorry, i was listening to my AWESOME music :) Charlotte: Whatever, musics so stupid, how do you like it? All it is is a bunch of random lyrics put on a beat. Kristina: Actually, music can psychologically affect you, and make you a generally happy person. Charlotte: Makes a face at her and walks away.

Act II: Pictures of people listening to music, iPod posters, and music. Also information on how music makes you a psychologically happier person, and diagrams. Image One: iPod poster Image two: Collage of music albums Image three: Diagram of brain and music in it pointing to how it enriches your knowledge. Diagram Four: Different musical notes appearing on the screen

Act III: Interviews about music and the effect is has on people, (Mr. D?) and a student.

Act IV: Talks about the "music into tragedy" theory, about how music expresses feelings: Image: A musician thinking about a tragedy, playing an instrument. Speaks in background volume about how music is a great way to vent emotion, and the movie music theory. (Give horror movie example or sad moment and then take music out of it and prove the difference) {Example of famous song that was composed from a tragic event in artist's life}

Act V: One day, Charlotte starts listening to music when Kristina plays it and decide she likes it and asks what song it is. It is a happy ending and everyone is happy that they like music. (Kristina listening to music, Charlotte walks in and shares an earphone with her music in background) Image Five: Charlotte with a thought bubble, showing that she likes the music. Charlotte: This is actually pretty cool, whats the name of this song? Kristina: I told you music was awesome!! Charlotte: I guess you're right.

(Music rocks! Thumbs up from Kristina and Charlotte)

[|Turning tragedy into music]
"We take a sonic tour of music inspired by tragedy. How composers have turned tragedy into music, and its cathartic power. NOTES FROM TERRANCE MCKNIGHT ON HIS SELECTIONS Americans heard a lot of sad music during the anniversary of 9/11 this week. But great music is born of tragedy, inspiring composers to create what moves us. Terrance McKnight, music host at WNYC, took a sonic tour of music inspired by tragedy and examined its cathartic power."

Ending music mix. (David Archuleta, Juno Soundtrack, Ne-Yo, Jason Mraz, MIA, Secondhand Serenade, etc.) THE END
