Explain how music contributes to the organization and purpose of the film (which also includes editing, cinematography, acting, dialog, etc.).

The Role of Music in Orfeu Negro

The paper on the role of music in Orfeu Negro will actually be due on March 4. Remember that the paper is not a summary of the movie’s plot. You can allude to the plot but not re-narrate it for my benefit. You must address a central and substantive rhetorical point or question, your purpose being to persuade your reader of the validity of your analytical interpretations of the film’s components (especially music, of course). In sum, you need to explain how music contributes to the organization and purpose of the film (which also includes editing, cinematography, acting, dialog, etc.).
