Course content

This class is centrally focused on traditional film music, but it additionally includes considerations of related practices that employ both music and moving-image media. The course is partly organized as an historical review and partly as a thematic introduction to the strategies and practices behind the uses of music in film. At the same time, these subjects will be developed with additional attention to broader perspectives on related image-based media that have employed music in significant ways. The different methodological approaches to these subjects are reflected both in the lectures and seminars, and in the broad-based curriculum of the course.
