MUSI370 Film Music of John Williams
and the FBI agents also act as the anchors for the music in this scene , complimentary with Neumeyer ’ s theory ( 2009 ).
Winters proposes that the music is one aspect of the ‘ creative arsenal ’ used to shape a film ’ s ‘ narrative world ’ ( 2010 ). This work has explored the film through the narrative world of the protagonists , proposing that the musical themes function narratively from the perspectives of Carl and Frank . A change in narrative perspective of the music arguably resists Winters notion that film music should function invisibly and unobtrusively , intrinsically within the narrative ( 2010 ). However , it allows greater agency for us to explore the manipulation of numerous narrative levels weaved into the film ’ s diegesis through Williams ’ music .
