The Use of Music in Film

Today we had a session with Dr Vasco Hexel (http://www.vascohexel.com/) about the music used in films. We watched a clip from Tron both with and without music which showed the massive effect music has on film. I found this session very interesting as we had a discussion on the hidden meanings of music, how it can make an audience feel a certain way about a character or how it can guide their attention to something specific in the scene. It got me thinking about how we could use music in the short film we make and although we aren't even in our groups yet, its an exciting thought.

We also got a masterclass from Dave Darch in using the Thumbjam app on iPads, which allows the user to really easily compose music for a film. I think its great that this is so easy and accessible.

Here are the posts in the Facebook group about this session.
