Intros (continued)

Today I want you to finish working on your 2 Intros. First, we're going to listen to 3 songs and analyze how they use Intros to grab the listener's attention...

• "C.R.E.A.M." by the Wu Tang Clan
• "Return the Favor" by Keri Hilson ft. Timbaland
• "Hail Mary" by Tupac Shakur
  

As we're listening, ask yourself the following questions:

• What is the emotion of this song? What is it about?
  
• How are the music and/or lyrics setting the tone for this emotion in the Intro?
• Does the Intro tend to build up to the main part of the song, or does it drop all at once?
  

Remember, that for your assignment I am looking for two different styles of Intro:

1. A buildup, where instruments come in one at a time. Call it: (your name)_buildupintro
2. A beginning with just a Sound Effect and a drum. Call this one: (your name)_fxdropintro

When you finish, let Mr. Runde know so that you can copy your files to his jump drive.
