  1. The 1st rotation suggests that this big city with thousands of people who should be more friendly and get along with each other since we are the one human race trying to hopefully better our environment and society (happy and upbeat movie). The 2nd rotation suggests at least to me that the city we live in and love came from our past and has heavy deep somber meaning and story that isn't going away any time soon and should be appreciated as so. (serious/educational tone). For the 3rd rotation we have a going to the city and visiting for the first time when all you know is farm or country and excitement for the new journey ahead. (funny/new perspective vibe).
  2. My song suggests that of what you see from the city and what we know it ought it be. I choose this song intentionally because the style of film and the camera quality suggests a 90's industrialist demeanor and I thought the song I choose embraces and shows it for what it is. The song picked gives me an intense yet sense of realization of our world in that era for the audiences aged between young teenager till mid 30's. (action and reality tv)
  3. When listening to the song the musical devices all center you down to what the movie will entail or will try to explain throughout the film. the message to be conveyed as the setting to possibly be hardships and overcoming of those things thought to be impossible.
  4. The importance of non-diegetic music is to try to mold and shape the viewer to the story line and scenes that might happen to appear as a sense of foreshadowing so the viewer has an idea of what they might be getting themselves into. the music is either aligned with or is terribly off and has no co-relation. the best films capture all senses from audio, visual and interpretive/suggestive issues.
