Today I got my Final Exam (it’s a take home) for the “History of Film Music” class that I’m taking this summer. It’s quite fun to have a professor with a sense of humor. One section of the exam is called “Really Long Essay Answers.” We have been told to answer two of the three following questions:

  1. Discuss cartoon music /cartoon composers since the 1930’s/ also include more recent cartoons, animated films / problems, etc. associated, etc. etc.
  2. Discuss three important European (not British, not Japanese) film composers:
    give film examples, stylistic characteristics, directors, etc. etc.
  3. The hyper-collective unconscious parallel reunites an adverse universal fusion and re-generative archetype incursion into the subconscious urban nightmare paradigm. Address the multiple egocentric manifestations and secular dilemmas of this offset denouement occupation (ODO) theory as Akira Ifukube and Cher might have discussed it with Sigmund Freud, Salvador Dali, James Wong Howe, Edith Head and Mechagodzilla.

Isn’t that a riot?! Which two would you pick?
