Aims and Objectives

The following are my proposed aim and objectives:

Aim

Analyse musical themes as a narrative device in film and investigates through the use of demonstrated compositional technique, musical themes and professional practice whether a viewer’s perception of a character can change over the course of a film.  

Objectives

Examine the use of compositional technique of music used in film and produce practical evidence that these techniques can be replicated through examples of stationary and moving image. 

Understand and investigate the historic background of character themes and determine how they may be established and manipulated. 

Explore the psychological and emotional impact that music can have on a listener and understand how music can create and develop a perception of an image. 

Compose multiple musical theme variations for a short film clip that establishes a character before manipulating the viewer’s perception of that character. 

Using quantitative research methods on an audience, analyse how efficient music is in changing perception and whether music alone can change how an audience responds to that character.
