How does music in film produce ideology? We will closely study a number of films, focusing at first on half a dozen top-grossing Hollywood vehicles from the last fifty years, theorizing the role of the score in the production, and exploring how it constructs identities for the characters and positions viewers. Prerequisites: FLS 150 or MUS 110. Enrollment limit of 12 students.
Instructor Permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
