DESCRIPTION
The phenomenon of film music and the theory that has accompanied it through various genres, will be considered in this module through active engagement in interdisciplinary study.
It will introduce a number of perspectives on the use, function and reception of music in (primarily) narrative film. This will include a discussion of practices from the so-called 'silent era' through to contemporary mainstream Hollywood cinema; exploration of the distinctions between the deployment of dramatic scoring and pre-existent music; the position of music in film's narrative fabric; and the interaction between music and other elements of film sound.
Key concepts and theorists in film music and film sound scholarship will be introduced, and the module will be supported by engagement with significant literature.
