Agradezco de antemano la creatividad de los alumnos de 2º de ESO que adornáis este blog con vuestro talento.
-Ir más despacio, atendiendo plenamente a lo que hacemos. Podemos desarrollar nuestra responsabilidad y autonomía trayendo todo lo que creemos que podemos necesitar a clase y empezando a organizar las clases de classroom. -Disfrutar de cada momento aportando lo mejor que tenemos. ( Es la mejor forma de descubrir cuáles son nuestros talentos más genuinos).
-Cuidarnos y cuidar la atmósfera de la clase respetando las normas y a los profesores. ( Y eso implica hacer ejercicio físico regularmente, comer de forma equilibrada, descansar, dormir lo necesario y ser amable y agradecido por lo que tenemos, manteniendo también nuestra alegría natural y sentido del humor).

2-LEARNING ABOUT FILMS MUSIC:
What´s a soundtrack?
A soundtrack, also written sound track, can be recorded music accompanying and synchronized to the images of a motion picture,book, television program, or video game; a commercially released soundtrack album of music as featured in the soundtrack of a film, video, or television presentation; or the physical area of a film that contains the synchronized recorded sound.
The importance of the music in films
Origin of the term
In movie industry terminology usage, a sound track is an audio recording created or used in film production or post-production.
Initially the dialogue, sound effects, and music in a film each has its own separate track (dialogue track, sound effects track, and music track), and these are mixed together to make what is called the composite track, which is heard in the film.
A dubbing track is often later created when films are dubbed into another language. This is also known as a M & E track (music and effects) containing all sound elements minus dialogue which is then supplied by the foreign distributor in the native language of its territory.
The abbreviation OST is often used to describe the musical soundtrack on a recorded medium, such as CD, and it stands for Original Soundtrack; however, it is sometimes also used to differentiate the original music heard and recorded versus a rerecording or cover of the music.
Foley effects:
Foley (named after sound-effects artist Jack Foley) is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.
These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass. The best Foley art is so well integrated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the audience.It helps to create a sense of reality within a scene. Without these crucial background noises, movies feel unnaturally quiet and uncomfortable.
Foley artists recreate the realistic ambient sounds that the film portrays. The props and sets of a film often do not react the same way acoustically as their real life counterparts.Foley sounds are used to enhance the auditory experience of the movie. Foley can also be used to cover up unwanted sounds captured on the set of a movie during filming, such as overflying airplanes or passing traffic.
Other video to understand diegetic sounds versus non diegetic music ( in Rocky)
A leitmotif or leitmotiv/ˌlaɪtmoʊˈtiːf/ is a "short, constantly recurring musical phrase" associated with a particular person, place, or idea. It is closely related to the musical concepts of idée fixe or motto-theme.
Ex: Indiana Jones, Superman, Harry Potter, the Pink Panther, The good, the bad and the ugly…
The spelling leitmotif is an anglicization of the German Leitmotiv [ˈlaɪtmoˌtiːf]), literally meaning "leading motif". A musical motif has been defined as a "short musical idea ... melodic, harmonic, or rhythmic, or all three",a salient recurring figure, musical fragment or succession of notes that has some special importance in or is characteristic of a composition: "the smallest structural unit possessing thematic identity.".
A last video to go depth:
Perhaps the most famous leitmotiv composed by Wagner in 19th century.
Wagner inspired John Williams, Max Steiner, Ennio Morricone, James Horner, etc.
