Film/Music Analysis

A Film Studies Approach

About this book

This book offers an approach to film music in which music and visuals are seen as equal players in the game. The field of Film-Music Studies has been increasingly dominated by musicologists and this book brings the discipline back squarely into the domain of Film Studies.Blending Neoformalism with Gestalt Psychology and Leonard B. Meyer's musicology, this study treats music as a cinematic element andoffers scholars and students of both music and film a set of tools to help them analyse the wide ranging impact that music has in films.
