19. Silent and Animation Techniques
Did you know, from your composing you would of all ready used some of these techniques…. Mickey Mousing! : This is…., A film I know that uses this is, (add to blog). What actions would be suitable and instruments? Musical Cliches: This is…. A film I know that uses this is (add to blog). What types would there be?

20. Musical Clichés
* When composing for Film, a mood needs to be instantly recognised.
* To help, there are a set of established clichés which give instant results for the audience.
* Throughout the film the composer is able to manipulate and change the initial motif to reflect the development of the character.
* Today, you will be composing your own character motif so you will need to remember to capture the mood instantly for your audience.
* Here are a few well-established clichés:
