Document Summary
How we should not see the orchestra because it"s happening non diegetically. How the film score should not be heard . How the music should be blended in with the experience, mise-en scene and emotions. Used to clarify narrative information and represent emotional states of narrative. Ex) connecting the female character vocalist to the music to signify emotion and connection of meaning within the film"s narrative. Music provides coherence, editing; blanketing the elements of mise en scene, editing, and sound effects. Used in classical hollywood: to fill in gaps and avoid silence. Expectancy of music to do the same things as in the narrative; according to hollywood. Composers must subordinate musical action to the demands of the narrative. That is, the non-diegetic music- supports the development of the narrative, reinforcing the plot. Ideological values that are bound up to these principles: transparency, clarity, coherence, and subordination. The score- information already provided by the image.
