I am amazed by the possibilities of using film scoring in the classroom.  I have a lesson plan involving the use of film in my classroom that I have in several different ways.  Due to the fact that I teach at an high school that is focused on the environment, I have chosen films depiciting different landscapes involving nature.  I chose three different and varied styles of music and we discuss which music works and which distracts from the film.  Then, they are asked to write their own music on their instruments that goes along with the film we have discussed.  I am always pleasantly surprised by their creativity and desire to compose.

With the use of i Movie, the project would have a different feel and be much more hip. I could see the use of iMovie helping them overcome the composition inhibition and making it much easier for them to compose using their instruments. I would love suggestions on ways that I could improve my film scoring projects without the use of iMovie.
