3 Q's on reading

1. Early in the semester a you tube video was posted of a fake trailer to the Shining with happy music and a different storyline voice over to it. Why do you think we associate certain music and background sounds with happiness and others with horror and suspense? What would our opinions of horror films like the Shining be if they did not contain the suspenseful music?
2. All people with hearing generally relate to these background music and sounds the same. Do you think people who are deaf could some how react the same? I tend to notice the suspenseful music during films. Do you think that people with hearing loss do not key into these moments with out certain sounds?
3. With all the noise around us, how can we focus in on one sound and only listen that and almost block out all the other sounds we hear?
