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 mixtape or CD.
Your task is to create a mixtape 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.
Make a tape!, burn a CD, compile a playlist on Spotify or Apple music, add a download link - you choose the format.
Read this first and then this
- Decide on a theme and a suitable title.
- 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).
- 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.
