Peer behind the scenes with two Hollywood veterans to hear how music influences the narrative and emotional arcs of a film. Nicholas Meyer, best-known for directing two Star Trek movies, including Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, joins Emmy-nominated composer and orchestrator Adam Cohen (whose credits include the TV series Psych and the upcoming Sony/ Aardman film Arthur Christmas) to discuss how sound, lighting, and other audio and visual technologies influence a film’s ultimate impact on the viewer. Clips from the Star Trek movies and other films will demonstrate how new technologies provide directors, and the sound and visual-effects artists who work with them, unprecedented tools to create a more compelling movie-going experience. David Stull, dean of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, moderates the discussion.
