Music is a crucial component of virtually all Hollywood films.
The sensation of suspense or joy or sadness that a film audience might feel is not only reflected in the music, but often dictated by the music. This course will cover the use of music in film from the silent era to the present. Film techniques and their relation to the score or soundtrack will also be discussed, as will some of the most prominent Hollywood composers. Each class will feature plenty of examples from films.
