Abstract:
Many scholars have recently proposed new models to describe the positioning of music in films. The models attempt to improve on the “diegetic/ nondiegetic” dichotomy, but most of them lack some important elements. I believe the best way to approach this topic is by integrating it with the functional aspect of music in film narrative.
