Class 7: The Soundtrack

I will fill in this entry a bit later in the week with some links and observations.

Filmsound.org is a website that gave me hours of fun when I first found it.

Andrew Ford's book The Sound of Pictures offers a nice window for listening to the music and (to a slightly lesser extent) the sound of films. One of the highlights is the interviews with filmmakers and composers he conducted for the text. His interview with the late Rodney Holland can be listened to at ABC Online.

The sounds of Tarantino's films.

Films shown in class: Gunshots (Collateral, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Great Gatsby, Infernal Affairs, Miami Vice, Godfather), Footsteps (Tracks, Mon Oncle, Looney Tunes, Blue is the Warmest Color, Manhunter), Atmospheres (Ran, Shanghai Triad), Voices (What Maisie Knew, Citizen Kane, Vertigo, The Grey, House of Cards, Enduring Love), 'Truckstop' from 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould.
