This book offers an approach to film music in which music and
visuals are seen as equal players in the game. The field of
Film-Music Studies has been increasingly dominated by
musicologists and this book brings the discipline back squarely
into the domain of Film Studies. Blending Neoformalism with
Gestalt Psychology and Leonard B. Meyer's musicology, this study
treats music as a cinematic element and offers scholars and
students of both music and film a set of tools to help them
analyse the wide ranging impact that music has in films.
