The textbook explores film sound in 3 parts. Through accessible; engaging; sample analyses and exercises; Part 1 illustrates ways to analyze a soundtrack in relation to the image track. Part 2 focuses on the contributions of music to film form and style while offering a number of detailed analyses of different types of scenes; and Part 3 lays out a concise history of film sound and music; paying particular attention to the role of technological innovations in film exhibition and production.
