To start my research I just went on youtube and started searching for how films use music and how film music works. I’m well aware it not the best was of gathering accurate information but as a way of getting some ideas on where to look I thought it would be a good start. I don’t come from a traditional music background, I’m self taught so I’m not familiar on terminology or how music should be made in particular styles. For previous projects I’ve just gone on what sounds or feels right in a film so hopefully by conducting this research I’ll get a proper understand of how and why music is used in film. The first video I watched was a video on how Pixar uses music. I was vaguely familiar with some of the things mentioned in the video but it also gave me a lot of things to think about, particularly the use of contrast and juxtaposition between what is seen on the screen and what can be heard.
