MOMI Reaction

The trip to the Museum of Moving Images was a really great change of pace from weeks of lecture. I’ve never been to the museum, and I was pleasantly surprised by how the museum married artifacts, interactive experiences, and history to create an incredibly informative, but enjoyable experience.

I think the highlight of the trip was the interactive exhibit demonstrated the importance of music/score in a film. The exhibit allowed participants to pick from an array of films. Your chosen film was then played with the music removed from the scene. It then gave viewers four choices of music/score to add to the scene. My group decided to choose the film Hitchcock for the exercise. Of the four options they gave us, only one of the music choices made sense to convey the appropriate feeling/mood (suspenseful and revelatory). The other musical choices were clearly unfit to portray these emotions, and when they were played with the clip, it made the scene feel corny or forced.

All in all, with the help of the exhibitions like the one I just mentioned and my informative tour guide, MOMI really helped me to understand a lot of the concepts we’ve talked about in both lecture and class. A lot of the things we talk about in lecture are difficult to fully grasp when you’re not given/shown examples, but MOMI really allowed us to experiment and interact with the theories we’ve been exploring in class.
