Dr Matt Lawson presents...
The Magic of Film Music
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.
