The Wolfs Theme



I thought that the Wolfs theme was the easiest to play besides the hunters theme. I thought it was one of the easiest to play because it was not too long and it did not have as many different notes as peters theme or the ducks theme. I learnt how to play the wolfs theme and I also learnt how to upload the video file to avi and then upload the avi file to my blogger page. I improved the Wolfs theme by listening to the actual video sound and then I tried to make my music sound the exact same as the video. I identified the bad parts of my music by listening to it and asking Denis to see if it was good, he then told me that it was outstanding, good or bad. The best part of my misc was the way I got the sound to sound like the horn that it was played by. The bit that I had trouble with was the part that we had to stretch the notes so they went very well with the music. I overcame this part by going to miss and asking for a bit of guidance. she showed me how to stretch the notes properly and to get them to go perfectly. The references that I used were the note sheet and the video for making the music. These references helped me because when it came to playing the song I need the note sheet to teach me the notes. And also when it came to putting my music to the video I needed to listen to the actual video so I got it right. I thought that the unit was very hard but the videos and playing the music was easy. I thought that the unit was fun because we got to use the computers and we also got to make our own music. I used my knowledge from IT and at home I used them because when we had to make a blog I used my knowledge from because made websites before this unit.

Peters Theme

 I think that peters theme was the hardest out of all the themes. I thought it was the hardest because it was the longest and it had a lot of different keys, unlike the hunters theme. I learnt how to play peters theme and I also learnt how to mix down to avi. I improved this theme by playing it over and over again, I also improved it by going into Mix-craft, then going into speed and stretching the notes so they went perfectly with the video. I identified the bad parts in my music by listening to it lots of times and getting the notes to play awesomely. The best part of my music was probably the way the music went so well with the video. The bit that I had trouble with was the part that we had to play the music. I overcame this by playing the music part by part and then making Denis listen to it to see if it was good enough. The only references that I used were the note sheet and the peter and the wolf video. These helped me because when I listened to the video a lot I seemed to start remembering the notes and the minor keys. I thought that the unit was pretty hard but I still enjoyed making the songs and listening to the video. I thought the video was fun because it was like watching a mini movie over and over again. I used my knowledge from IT and from at home. I used that knowledge because when it came to making the video I used all that knowledge to insert the file and to make tis all happen.

Ducks Theme

The ducks theme was not as easy as the hunters theme but it was not as hard as peters theme. I thought it was that because the ducks theme is quite long and it has a lot of minor keys. I learnt how to play the ducks theme and how to use minor notes on the keyboard. I improved this theme by expanding the notes so they go exactly to the video and I also improved it by listening to it over and over again so I could play it to perfection. I identified the bad parts of my music by listening to it over and over again. The best part of my music was probably the music that I played to make it go with the video. The bit I struggled on was the part were we had to crop the notes to perfection. I overcame this impossibility by looking over the notes and looking out to see what notes they were. The references that I used were the video and the note sheet. These helped me because when I went over the notes a lot I finally figured out how to play the song. I think that this unit was quite hard but the upside was that it was also very fun. I thought it was fun because we got to make our own music and we got to use the keyboards a lot. I used my knowledge from IT and from at home. I used that knowledge because when it came to making the video I had to use what I learnt in IT and at home with the computer.

Hunters Theme

Hunters Theme

This is the hunters theme and thought it was quite easy. I thought it was easy because I was good at key board and on the computer. I learnt how to to use Mixcraft and how to upload videos onto it. I also learnt how to to play the hunters theme by using rhythm by clapping the notes. I improved it by making it sound like the kettle drums and bringing the notes to perfection. I identified the bad parts of my music by listening to it over and over and over again. The best bit of my work was probably the video because we cropped it very well and we  did not mess it up. I struggled with putting the video to go with the music. I overcame it by going to the actual video and listening to the music. I used the video, the notes and the  internet. This helped me in altering my work because I listened to the song millions of times and I used the internet to see how the notes went exactly. I think that this unit was quite fun and also hard. I thought it was fun because we got to use the computers and make a video with our own music with it. I used my knowledge from IT to create the video and to insert the video file into Mixcraft.
