{Audio post: Score 1_Scary}

One of the classic cases where a score is used to build up emotion is in a scary sequence when you know something bad is going to happen. You know it's coming, you know the character should do something different, but they're going to fall right into the trap! And the whole time, the music is building and building until...BAM!

Basically, whether you were consciously aware of it or not, the music just helped to manipulate you to feel a certain way, even though your brain already knew what was going to happen.

Question: what kinds of instruments do you typically hear in scenes like this? Why do you think those instruments are used so much?

Today, you are going to do this. Please do the following:

1. In the Shared Media folder, look in Class Materials>Film Clips>Freddy Clips and copy the file called Chase.mov to your computer.
2. Create a new Pro Tools session and name it: your name_scary score
3. Import the Chase movie clip into your session.
   
4. Watch the clip through a few times to get a feel for when specific things happen that should have a musical equivalent. Drop memory locators at these points.
5. Set the mode to Grid.
6. Try to change the Tempo so that you can get some of the memory locators to fall right on the first beats of the grid.
7. Create a Stereo Aux Input track.
8. Insert Reason on this track.
9. Make scaaaarrry music!
10. Bounce the music to a Quicktime movie. Call it: your name_scary score
    
11. Put a copy in the Shared Media Folder in: Student Work>Scary Score
    
12. Save your Pro tools session.
