The role of music communication in cinema
Scott D. Lipscomb, David Edelson Tolchinsky · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2005
This chapter explores musical communication in a cinematic context. It presents empirical and theoretical models of film music perception and the role of music in film. It illustrates some of the ways in which a film's soundtrack can not only contribute towards but also expand upon the meaning of a film's narrative, and on what it communicates to the audience.
