Name:<\/strong>\u00a0Parker Gordon<\/p>\n

Major:\u00a0<\/strong>Music and Political Science<\/p>\n

Classification:<\/strong>\u00a0Senior<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong>\u00a0Stephenville, TX<\/p>\n

Mentor:<\/strong>\u00a0Dr. Mikee Delony, English<\/p>\n

What I Study:<\/strong>\u00a0My research so far has dealt with the composition and use of music in films. \u00a0I have found that the more you know about music, the more you get out of watching a film. \u00a0Composers and directors often collaborate in a way that gives clues to what’s going on in a film or even tell a little inside joke to those who might be watching\/listening for it. \u00a0Most recently, I have been researching the prolific use of classical music in films and comparing the original backstory of the piece’s composition to the story it is now being paired with.<\/p>\n

Why I do research:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0I’m very new to research, but I love it. \u00a0I became interested in doing additional research in music through one of my English classes with Dr. Delony. \u00a0She pushed me to try new ideas and apply what I already know to different areas of study. \u00a0My favorite part of research is just being knowledgeable about different topics and fields and creating connections between them.<\/p>\n

Conferences:<\/strong>\u00a0Parker presented his research at the 2013 ACU Undergraduate Research Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
