The survey then used the same five criteria to determine what effect an organ or piano score would have had on students’ engagement with the same film, and then also asked what effect a symphonic or string instrument score would have had. These three questions were asked for each of the three films. While the survey therefore asked respondents to imagine the use of organ/ piano/symphonic music with films they had not seen with such musical accom- paniments, students had been exposed to numerous other silent films featuring all of these different forms of instrumentation throughout the semester, and were therefore familiar with each musical variation asked by.
