Podcast series: Impact of Music in Films Ep.1
If someone asked me what my life was all about, Id have two words for them. Movies and Bed. Yes, if I din’t have school work Id be watching movies all day, taking time out to rest for a while, waking up to watch more movies. Id get a few meals in between but thats pretty much what I would do.
When you watch as many movies as I do, you tend to start analyzing them. You stop looking at the actors and start trying to figure out how the shots are framed, how the story unfolds and how good the music is. Over the past couple of months Iv’e been looking at how effectively music is used in films. Every fiction and non-fiction film today relies on music to a certain extent. I am surprised by how two very similar films can end up going in different directions depending on how they are scored. Music can transform a shot of a gutter from something people cringe at to an aesthetically pleasing entity. No kidding.

So for my latest assignment, which was to create a series of three podcasts related to my research interest, I’ve decided to talk about something I believe we don’t understand very well. Music in Films. The first episode can be played below. Hope you enjoy it.
