Course Long Title
Music and the Soundscape of Film
Course Description
In this course we study the soundscape of film and the role that music plays within that soundscape. The goal is to analyze how what we hear interacts with what we see when we watch a film. To understand how technology has influenced the role of sound in film, we survey technological developments from the early years of the twentieth century to the current day. Students acquire listening and viewing skills by exploring the relationship between music and sound, sound and narrative, music and film form, and music and film style. No prior knowledge of music or film is necessary.
