Our object is to develop skills in analyzing the sound track, music's role in the sound track, and the relation of sound track and image track (especially relating to music) on small-scale and large-scale (narrative) levels. The course develops critical listening and viewing skills at the same time it offers a film-music history survey. Musical background is not a prerequisite. Information and skills from courses such as Introduction to Film, Music Appreciation, or Introduction to Music Theory can be helpful but are not necessary for success in this course. The main requirement is a willingness to listen carefully and to articulate what you hear.
