Music HIstory
Documentary Link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jTLjL_BdOs
Watch the entire documentary. This is on the honor system. It is your loss if you choose not to engage fully with this assignment.
Write and carefully edit a response of approximately 23 pages (ca. 500750 words). Your response should be organized into coherent paragraphs. You may write in first person (I, me, my, etc.) when appropriate, but please maintain a formal, academic style of writing.
Your response should include the following:
One to two paragraphs in which you introduce the documentary (the title, when it was made, where it was made, who made it, etc.) and summarize its content. What is the documentary about? Who are some of the main figures? What kind(s) of music are introduced? What is the films agenda/argument/purpose? In this section, try to be succinct and objective.
Two to three paragraphs in which you articulate a response to the documentary. Be sure to explain and defend your response (i.e. it is not enough to say I loved it or I hated it without supporting your opinion). Please address both of the following:
Your broad impressions of the documentary. You may wish to consider some (probably not all!) of the following questions: What did you learn from the documentary? What did you think about the concept of the documentary as a whole? Did you respond strongly to it or not? What did you think about how the filmmakers portrayed the people/musics/cultures in the film? Would you recommend this documentary to a friend or family member? Why or why not?
Your specific impressions of a single aspect of the documentary. Identify a specific scene, interviewee, musical moment, etc. that caught your attention and discuss your thoughts on it. This could be something that you especially liked, something you found especially problematic, something that you found difficult to relate to, something that seemed very relatable, etc.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The quality of your writing is a component of your grade. I am expecting polished, proofread essays, not first drafts. If you would like help proofreading your essay, please make an appointment with the Butler Writers Studio (https://www.butler.edu/writersstudio (Links to an external site.)) or ask our GA, Daniel, for help.
