| Summary |
Provides a series of analyses of the ways in which contemporary Australian cinema has used music in its soundtracks. The text presents individual chapters of films such as "Shine", "The Piano", "Priscilla - Queen of the Desert", "Romper Stomper" and the "Mad Max" trilogy, examining the processes behind the creation, production and consumption of film music scores. Various themes run through the book, including the relationship between film music and narrative; the use of musical themes to enhance characterization; directional style in sound composition; and how sounds, such as the didjeridu, are used to evoke and symbolize Australia |
