Short video clip (1 min.) showing a group of stone statues in a church. There is a central dead body sourrounded by distressed onlookers. There is no voice-over but the soundtrack texture is quite thick and terse.
KS3 idea: Discus with pupils the emotional effect of having such thick-textured terse-sounding music. Do they think a thinner more subdued musical texture would lend a different emotional feel to the clip? Ask them to compose a more subdued soundtrack and play it along with the clip (with the original soundtrack turnded down). How is the listener's reaction different?
