FILM MUSIC ANALYSIS
STAR WARS: uses of leitmotivs
FILM MAKER: GEORGE LUCAS
General commentary:
-
Original Soundtrack by John Williams.
-
Diegetic and Non diegetic: most of the music in the films is non diegetic, except some sequences.
-
Integrated music: it's justified in the plot by the description and identification of the main characters by means of the use of leitmotivs.
-
Convergent music: the same previous explanation.
-
Generic bloc and Sequence music: the main fragment heard at the beginning of the film, with the credits that introduce the plot, is one of the main famous generic bloc. Then, during all the films sequence music is heard associated with the specific character or action.
-
Plane of the music: it depends of the specific scene.
