Film music style lecture 12 13
Film music serves three main codes: visual, dialogic, and musical. It can confirm, reveal hidden meanings, or oppose the other codes. Composition styles draw from classical influences like romantic 19th century music or minimalism. Genres also influence style, like western music for Lonesome Dove or Arab influences for The Last Temptation of Christ. Perspective and structure are important to how music is implemented, from background to foregrounded music. Many films draw on or pastiche earlier classical works or those reflecting the genre or culture portrayed.
Music in film
Music has been an important part of films since the earliest motion pictures in the late 19th century. Originally, live musicians would perform during screenings, but composers began writing original scores in the silent film era. Modern film scores emerged in the 1950s using a variety of styles like jazz and atonality. A film score enhances the narrative and emotion of a scene through cues timed to visuals. Famous director-composer collaborations include John Williams with Steven Spielberg and Danny Elfman with Tim Burton. Character themes and leitmotifs are common compositional techniques.
