The film director Allison Anders (Gas, Food Lodging, Mi Vida Loca, Grace Of My Heart) teaches a Rock n' Roll Film soundtrack class at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). The student's final project is to create a soundtrack of his or her life on a mix tape or cd.
Your task is create a mix tape that is the heavily themed. You will be recontextualising the songs, both by placing them together and theming them under the title of your mix. You will be giving them a new or different meaning when you do this.
- Decide on a theme and a suitable title.
- Use music you 'own' (not a Soundcloud or Spotify playlist)
- Embrace variety.
- Make it flow as a listening experience.
- Justify each track you choose OR justify as a complete compilation.
- Be creative (this will link to the exam).
- Upload to mega.co.nz (or equivalent) in MP3format only (no AAC or other file types) OR burn to CD/put it on a USB and i'll upload for you.
- Make a cover image for your mix. This is an integral part of the presentation, so put some thought into it, make it the right size (12cm x 12cm) and make it look good.
- Post the cover and tracklist and notes on your blogs.
