Final idea? Hopefully.

Thank you to everyone who commented on the last blog.

I think I've figured out what I'm doing. Maybe...

So. Piano.
I want the piece to span one full day. So it'll start one morning and end at sunrise the next morning.
Also, I want to action around the piano to move in a similar way - it'll start out with little kids, easy music, stuff like that, and progress to teenage-sort of kids, harder music, older stuff.
So it'll be one day and sort of one lifetime (crazy metaphors and stuff...).
As far as sound goes, I want there to be probably one song that cuts in and out the entire piece. There
will be shots of actual piano playing, then it will cut to the plot-like shots - people at the piano and doing stuff around the piano.
So now, I just have to find actors and write a song.



As usual, comments and stuff are great.

I really like your ideas! I also like the idea of having the piece to span one day.
I have one question though, how are you going to show the difference in difficulty of the music?
Good luck writing the music over break, and I can't wait to hear it!

listen to the song "a day in the life" on the Sgt. Pepper record, and beatles stuff in general. it might give you ideas (and if you have the CD, the very end is trippy + the sound quality is better if you listen to it on non-earbuds, where the treble is in one ear, bass the other. really need those kinda headphones for the beatles. best example: elinor rigby, b/c violin is in one ear and singing is in the other. funfun. while i'm on the beatles and distracted, MerEdith had beatles RECORDS and a RECORD player!, 'kay, i just had to mention it. i don't even know if u like the beatles, i just am assuming. if you don't we have to talk. :) . also, back to you actual movie, (and this is probably assumed anyway) but you should have a song w/ a climax, and diff shades. when you are choosing a solo song, u r supposed to find something that builds, which can be difficult.

i feel like i had something more significant to say but i don't remember. o well. I shall return.
