October 2017
Welcome
to See Hear 45.
We
all love movies and we all love music in movies (it’s partly why
you listen to this podcast, right?) Film scores can be bold and
bombastic or quiet and subtle. Either way it’s a strong part of the
film watching experience.
It
seems crazy that until 2017, there hasn’t been a major documentary
(that we’re aware of) dedicated to the art of film composition and
the people who devote their lives to emotionally manipulating you
more than what you actually see on-screen via their music.
Matt
Schrader is the director of a great new documentary called “Score:
A Film Music Documentary” that looks into the process of film score
composition, how it’s evolved, interviews with a number of its
current practitioners, and the psychology behind how viewers perceive
the on-screen action when music is playing (sex, chocolate and music
all produce the same rush in your brain, apparently). Bernard, Tim
and Maurice were very excited to have Matt come onto the podcast and
discuss making the film and his own love of scores.
We
all wished this could be a 10 part HBO series, but Matt packs a lot
into its 90 minute running time. We at See Hear HQ highly recommend
it and thank Matt for giving us his time.
Keep
an eye out for theatre screenings, get resource material or order the
DVD / Blu Ray from https://www.score-movie.com/. You can also
get the film from iTunes.
