Sound And Emotion: The Use Of Music In The Cinematic Experience, Sarah Schulte
Sound And Emotion: The Use Of Music In The Cinematic Experience, Sarah Schulte
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
To portray the radical importance of music in stimulating emotion within cinema, to appeal to an audience’s selective attention to sounds, and to detail the process of creating an original film score, I have scored WKU student Tori Mills’ short film Come Up for Air.
