DCB WK 15 Comedy Music Were Dominated by Jazz & Sound Effects Question

I’m working on a music writing question and need guidance to help me learn.

Q1. What is your reaction to the early comedy music and sound then and now? (Three Stooges, Road to
Bali, Grown-ups)
Q2. What is your reaction to the music and sound in the two Pink Panther films (Peter Sellers and Steve
Martin)?
Q3. When you watch the three West Side Story clips (the 1961 clips and the 2020 version) What is your
reaction to how the music is performed and integrated into the scenes? How is it the same and how is it
different?
Q4. When you watch and hear two of the more “classic” love story films (A Love Story and The
Notebook) what is your reaction and feeling? Why do you think that is?
Q5. Overall, comparing these genres then and now, based not just on these clips but also your own
knowledge of films, What observations do you have about how music was used and evolved?
