    This document provides instructions for an exercise where participants listen to music excerpts and use their imagination to visualize and describe film scenes based on the music. Participants are prompted to note where the imagined scene takes place, who is there, and what is happening after each excerpt. They are then asked to write a 150-word descriptive narrative of their favorite imagined scene, using vivid adjectives and narrating in the present tense to bring the visualized scene to life. The goal is for participants to creatively interpret instrumental music and compose short descriptive passages of imagined film shots.

    FILM SHOTS

    Pre-listening:

    Which films have you seen with particularly memorable music?

    While listening:
    Now you are going to see a film, but it will be your private film. You will hear some
    music and while it is playing and using your imagination think about where you are, who is
    there and what is happening. So relax, close your eyes and watch the cinema screen in your
    heads. After hearing the excerpt, you will have 3-4 minutes to write down in note form what
    you saw.

    Which was your favourite piece? Which gave you the most ideas?

    After listening
    Basing yourself on your notes and the excerpts you listened to, write a 150 word
    description (about 3 paragraphs) of the scene you imagined. Make sure you narrate in the
    present simple and continuous. We can consider this a descriptive narrative so you need to use
    vivid adjectives to describe the setting, the people, and the actions in your film. Make your
    words come alive. Your compositions should include these elements. Remember you are
    narrating a visual scene so use as much detail as possible. If you have problems, go to Aula
    Cesga and listen to the music again.
