Music 170 - Music in Film

A historical survey of film music from the Silent Era to the present day, thus providing a basis for the aesthetic appreciation of music in film. Students will also foster an increased awareness of film music's many functions through critical listening and viewing. Emphasis is given to Hollywood narrative films. Please note that some of the movies we will study are rated R and contain strong language, violence, and nudity. Students should take this into consideration when registering for the course. (Gen.Ed.
