Again, your work lacks detail Ana. Your list of composers should have come first with some examples of the films they had composed for. You should have then listed some of the works you listened to from each of the composers. There should then be an in depth biography of your chosen composer including reasons why you chose him/her.
ReplyDeleteLinks to examples of their work would also be good so the reader of your blog could listen to some of the examples.
