Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but did you know that music has always been an integral part of creating that magic? With the 2023 Oscars just around the corner, we thought we’d take a look at the ever-important role that music composition plays in cinematic storytelling. Join us as we take a look at iconic scores from films like Star Wars, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter, and more! We’ll explore how these themes help give a film its identity and its unforgettable nature. We’ll take a look at some of the most influential composers of the time, including John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and Trent Reznor, and analyze what makes them so unique and effective at telling a story through sound. So, pop some popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy this deep dive into the world of Film Scores.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS: This video explores how the music in a film can parallel the plots and themes of a movie, so naturally, we talk about major plot points, themes, and characters of select films in order to illustrate this relationship. They’re all films that have been around for quite some time, and who’s narratives are pretty widely known, but just in case, we thought we’d give you the heads up.
