Film Music
Paper instructions:
Write a 2,500-word case study on a film, a film genre, a film
franchise, TV programme or documentary of your choosing (decision left for the writers preference).
The case study should be a comprehensive analysis of the music and how it is used,
positioning it in a theoretical context, for which you may use either
the models you explored in Coursework 1 or the model I delivered in the
first lecture. You must also use reputable literature to support your
analysis.
In this context, “reputable literature” means books and
journal articles but not fan sites, Wiki or other material of doubtful
provenance. The Internet may be used for background reading and you may
cite it, providing your own analysis supports what is being said in the
article.
Make sure that you are using a comprehensive analytical model
for the basis of your work, and remember that you should refer to a wide
range of academic literature to support your arguments, using the
correct in-text referencing format. You should expect to use musical
quotes and theoretical musical analysis as appropriate.
