As possibly the dominant art/entertainment form of the present day, film involves the imaginations and collaborations of many people in telling a story. Music provides the gel that solidifies the film components of writing, acting, photography, sound, costumes and sets into an artistic whole. To experience a film from an aural perspective we will look at the evolution of film music during the twentieth century, focusing on elements that have remained constant and those elements that have changed. We will analyze the sound tracks of particular films to observe how the composer uses the abstract medium of music to strengthen or possibly weaken the storyline of the film -how music can sustain drama and intensify the inner thoughts of characters. Included will be discussions on the functions of film music and the process of scoring film. And, in the leadership content we will study leadership theories, conflict management, decision making, power and influence, and artistic vision during the production of film and its music. Satisifies intercultural exploratory requirement.
