Discussion about Favorite Films in Different Genres Differ in Music
Consider a few of your favorite films in different genres (drama, comedy, romantic comedy, documentary, etc.). How does the film music function in each context? Do you hear differences in the types of film music in these various films (underscoring, source music, running counter to the action)? If so, do you find these different types of film music to be consistent in other films of the same genre? As you survey these other films, can you find any examples that use these types of music (underscoring, source music, running counter to the action) unexpectedly or in ways that seem unusual?
Please write at least a one-page response to these questions. You can use any films that you like and/or know well to give your response.
Movies in Mind: Disney Movie (romance), Action Movie (you pick), documentary (you pick)
