Description

Introducing the topic, the volume editor explains that the discussions and analyses offered by the contributors to the volume are intended to provide models for future work on both specific texts and the operation of the genre as a whole. The chapters take one (or sometimes more) of four approaches to their topics: 1. detailed analyses of the relationship between image, sound and music in specific films and/or film sequences (Chapters 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 15); 2. studies of particular composers’ and/or directors’ oeuvres (Chapters 5 and 14); 3. analyses of musical approaches used in particular subgenres or film series (Chapters 3, 10, 11 and 12); 4. an analysis of the use and affectivity of sound in the (primarily) non-musical soundtrack to a single film, The Blair Witch Project (Chapter 13).
