Music and Film

Оглавление

Music, as indicated, has a long history punctuating potent moments in films. John Williams has been especially prolific composing music scores for such films as Star Wars, Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, The Color Purple, and Schindler’s List, among others. A more recent development has been the origination of music videos. This medium, which became popular in the 1980s, at first simply depicted artistic impressions of song lyrics that featured recording artists. However, music videos have expanded and can be used for much more than simple entertainment. For instance, music videos can be used in empathy training, especially for counselorsin-training (Ohrt et al., 2009). Such music videos as “When You’re Gone” (Klasfeld, 2007) can be played to highlight loss and loneliness, or “Concrete Angel” (Flanigen, 2002) can be used to focus on feelings and features related to abuse. Thus, music videos “may serve as a medium for arousing emotional responses to a character that may represent future clients” (Ohrt et al., 2009, p. 329).
