Question

3) John Williams initiated a revival of the Classic film score in the late 1970s. Describe the qualities of the classic score and cite examples from at least three films scored by John Williams between 1975 and 19

Answer 1

Answer:

Jaws (1975), Star Wars (1977), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Explanation:

The Classic film score, as exemplified by John Wiliams served not as filler, but rather as an enhancer of the motion picture; almost a character in itself! Consider Jaws´ inauspicious Main Title, which has become synonymous with impending danger. Soon after that, probably not just his most famous score, but the most famous in cinema history, the score for Star Wars helped elevate the behemoth to even greater heights, with its Main Title and Force theme. Soon after, he would collaborate with both Spielberg and Lucas to score the first Indiana Jones´ film, Raiders of the Lost Ark; one can´t help but here the Main Title and think about adventures to come.
