Film's Musical Moments - Ian Conrich, Estella Ticknell

Edinburgh University Press | ISBN 0748623442 | July 2007 | PDF | 226 Pages | 0.7MB


This book is about musical performance on film, about the use of music within film and it is about film musicals: a triple focus that articulates the complex relationship that exists between music and the cinematic text. The different ways in which musical performance and the diegetic or non-diegetic use of music overlap, intersect or operate in distinction, has been the focus for a range of academic debates and discussions since the mid 1990s. It was with these considerations in mind that we developed this collection of essays.

The book has its origins partly in the work we undertook as colleagues teaching an undergraduate Cultural Studies module on the film musical at Nottingham Trent University, and partly in our wider interest in the role music has played on film. These two foci directed us to explore the function and presence of musical performances in cinema.
