Interactive talk taking you through a potted history of film music with facts, figures, anecdotes and humour

Arts At The Old Fire Station

Film music can make us laugh, make us cry, and completely alter the way we react to a scene or film as a whole. It also guides the pacing and structure of the film, creating a more immersive and cohesive experience for audiences. This interactive, engaging public lecture will take audiences through a potted history of film music, from the very earliest silent films to 21st-century blockbusters, stopping off at important points on the way. We will discover why films have music, how it has changed over time, and what happens when we change the music or remove it altogether. With facts, figures, anecdotes, humour, and a broad range of audiovisual examples, this talk takes the public into the magical world of film scores and offers the opportunity to ask questions afterwards in an informal Q+A. <blockquote>This will be a family-friendly cinematic experience, with some darkness and loud film clips to be expected.</blockquote>
