Projects: Music History opera video

 

 

So that I do not receive a 4.0 Academic credit, I took music history to attempt the 6.0 Honors credit. Well little did I know that the teacher is the toughest I have met, even harder than the 9th grade English teacher. She was funny; this one is just mean. Six people got into groups to write their own script for a short opera of around 15 minutes. The video is not digital, so I have no idea who even has the tape. Our style was Italian libretto.

The opera begins with college recruiters going to a student's house. He got a 1900 on his SATs because of a computer error, so all the colleges want him. He rejects the colleges and eventually chose to stay with his friends. The filming was fun, even though it took us basically 40 hours. One of the scenes alone took 30 plus takes. Too bad the grading was not fun.
