RECA 593 Movie Music

3 semester hours

By watching and listening to film soundtracks, as presented through more than 200 film clips, students perform extensive visual and audio analysis of how music contributes to narrative cinematic arts. Students will be connecting visual and audio structural elements of film as they are related to important psychological principles such as humans having bias toward predictability, especially when it comes to musical expectations. Combined interdisciplinary concepts of psychology, music, and film are used to achieve the learning outcomes.
