The Magic of Film Music

9 May @ 7:30 pm - 9:15 pm
£8

Film music can make us laugh, make us cry, and completely alter the way we react to a scene or film as a whole. It also guides the pacing and structure of the film, creating a more immersive and cohesive experience for audiences. This interactive, engaging talk by film music expert Dr Matt Lawson will take audiences through a potted history of film music, from the very earliest silent films to 21st-century blockbusters, stopping off at important points on the way. We will discover why films have music, how it has changed over time, and what happens when we change the music or remove it altogether. With facts, figures, anecdotes, humour, and a broad range of audio-visual examples, this talk takes the public into the magical world of film scores.
