Course Details

Country: Germany
Course Title: Movies, Music, Manipulation: Studying the Mechanics of Film Music
Course Number: FU-BEST 13
Course Description: Film is, in the minds of most people, primarily a visual entertainment - we talk of watching a film or going to see a movie. So when a filmmaker as respected as George Lucas states '...sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie’, many folks are taken by surprise. But why? In this course (which requires no pre-existing film or music education to fully enjoy) we will take an in-depth look at how music and sound help elevate the narrative of a film, manipulate and enhance a viewer’s emotional journey across different genres and stories, and survey how the use of both has evolved in filmmaking over the course of 125 years.
