Review Mood Notes
Watch “recut” movie trailers and take notes on audience emotions. Then, watch the actual trailer. Discuss what elements made the mood different in the two. This emotional impact is mood. *Producers have elements like images, music, lighting, etc. Authors only have words, so they rely on a vivid setting filled with imagery to create a mood for the reader: The Shining (Original);RECUT VERSION INSTEAD; Sleepless in Seattle (Original); Silence of the Lambs (Original); Mrs. Doubtfire (Original); Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Original)
