One of my students, Vanessa Tidmarsh, unearthed this wonderful little exercise on YouTube a few weeks back. The poster took a short clip from an obscure early '60s B-movie, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and recreated every element of the soundtrack for it (then added insert frames showing how he did it).
This is a useful example to guide and inspire my Film classes, whose culminating assessment task in their current unit on Sound will be to do exactly this (although their 'making of' film segments can be presented as a separate mini-documentary rather than inserted alongside their original clip). I'm looking forward to seeing - and hearing - what they come up with.
