Episode Synopsis

How does music shape our emotions, sync up our bodies, and influence the way we perceive film? In this video, we break down musical empathy, entrainment, and affordances—three key concepts that explain how sound and the music's temporalities connect us to characters, amplify tension, and reshape a scene’s meaning. If you are interested in these ideas, check out Juan Chattah’s book, Film Music: Cognition to Interpretation for a deeper exploration of music’s cognitive and perceptual effects in film.🎶 Watch, listen, and experience how film music transforms storytelling!BOOK: https://rb.gy/hhfbrcSUBSCRIBE: https://rb.gy/djympt
