MUSC 220 Music and the Movies
In this course, we will study the use of music in movies. We will focus on two broad areas: 1) The analysis and interpretation of film soundtracks, with particular attention to the relationship between music and image; 2) A historical survey of soundtracks, with particular attention to style, genre, and influence from select moments in this history of film. The class will culminate in a final research paper in which students will write a critical exegesis and critique of select aspects of film music.
