Jacob's Presentation-Musical Media

Let me just start by saying that I was all excited to hear about "Over the Garden Wall," and then the show just changed directions and went into a classic scene for the wonderful "Singing in the Rain." I was mildly disappointed, however, I adore musical media so I was super happy once I realized what he was doing. Music Media is very amazing.

For those of you who do not know this, I am studying psychology along with Film Production. My goal in doing this is to learn more about how to make my media appeal to the audience. I want to know how people work so that I can make my media truly connect. You know what connects with people? Music. You know why? Well, you should because Jacob said it in class. Dopamine. Happy music releases the same chemical as some drugs and sex. In the same respect sad music can cause the same effects that the chemicals, whatever they're called, that cause us to feel depressed.

Music can massively impact the emotional state of your viewers. This is why it is so important. And I don't just mean when the actors are singing, but also film scores.
