For most of the history of film-making, music has played an
integral role serving many functions - such as conveying emotion,
heightening tension, and influencing interpretation and inferences
about events and characters. More recently, with the enormous
growth of the gaming industry and the Internet, a new role for
music has emerged. However, all of these applications of music
depend on complex mental processes which are being identified
through research on human participants in multimedia contexts. The
Psychology of Music in Multimedia is the first book dedicated to
this fascinating topic. The Psychology of Music in Multimedia
presents a wide range of scientific research on the psychological
processes involved in the integration of sound and image when
engaging with film, television, video, interactive games, and
computer interfaces. Collectively, the rich chapters in this edited
volume represent a comprehensive treatment of the existing research
on the multimedia experience, with the aim of disseminating the
current knowledge base and inspiring future scholarship. The focus
on empirical research and the strong psychological framework make
this book an exceptional and distinctive contribution to the field.
The international collection of contributors represents eight
countries and a broad range of disciplines including psychology,
musicology, neuroscience, media studies, film, and communications.
Each chapter includes a comprehensive review of the topic and,
where appropriate, identifies models that can be empirically
tested. Part One presents contrasting theoretical approaches from
cognitive psychology, philosophy, semiotics, communication,
musicology, and neuroscience. Part Two reviews research on the
structural aspects of music and multimedia, while Part Three
focuses on research examining the influence of music on perceived
meaning in the multimedia experience. Part Four explores empirical
findings in a variety of real-world applications of music in
multimedia including entertainment and educational media for
children, video and computer games, television and online
advertising, and auditory displays of information. Finally, the
closing chapter in Part Five identifies emerging themes and points
to the value of broadening the scope of research to encompass
multisensory, multidisciplinary, and cross-cultural perspectives to
advance our understanding of the role of music in multimedia. This
is a valuable book for those in the fields of music psychology and
musicology, as well as film and media studies.
