Watch--and take notes as you do--Lecture 7: Bernard Herrmann (27:37)
Here are some questions to keep in mind as you watch the video:
- What are some distinctive characteristics Herrmann cultivated in his film scores?
- What are some characteristics of Herrmann's scores that are associated with Modernism?
- How are Herrmann's uses of themes and leitmotives similar to or different from Max Steiner's?
Go to Sakai->Forums->7 Response to video lecture 7 and write a paragraph response. You can respond to any of the above prompts or simply write your own unprompted critical thoughts on this topic. You may also read (and respond to) posts from others in the class, but your ideas should be your own. The paragraph should cite the video where appropriate and consist of at least 200 words.
