Document Summary
Lecture 2 film & music terms (january 18, 2016) Any music used in a film: score composed for the film, pre-existing music used in a film, music heard by characters, audience or both, focus on music composed for a film. Sound within a film includes the dialogue, speech, sound effects (ex: weather, nature sounds, traffic, someone walking, etc. 2 components that influence film: image track: what appears on the screen, sound track: what one hears through the speakers. Narrative films (films that tell a story through actions and interactions of characters) Realism, clarity and fidelity: while many of us will brush off a film that doesn"t feel real (that does not make sense), the reality of the film is often different from actual reality. Film makers often prioritize clarity of narrative over fidelity, both in the telling of the story and in the musical components.
