On the Musical Creation of Film

电影音乐创作可称为音乐艺术中的一个边缘领域,即它是电影这种现代综合艺术中所不可缺少的重要组成部分,又在音乐创作中占有特殊的地位。当然,对电影音乐创作向来有各种各样的看法,本文则着眼于它的重要与特殊之处,从三个方面加以论述:一、我的电影音乐观。二、电影音乐的创作探索。三、电影音乐的未来展望。

The musical creation composes one vital part in the creation of film, which is known as a kind of synthetic art form, but we can still find that there is a subjective nature in it. Once a compser holds what he feels in the chains of events of the story told by film, he will be able to estbish this nature in his musical creation for the film. However, the musical creation is dominated by the frames, or even by the ideas and styles of the playwriter or director, and this concludes its nature of limitation. But these limitations can be broken at the time when the composer grasps the connotations of the theme of story, and this leads him to a paradise where he is able to fly freely with his music. To be a compsoer for a certain film, he should have a consideration for ita entire musical construction. This entire consideration includes his mastering of form, harmony and style devices. First of all, he needs to make an overall arrangement, and under the guidence of this overall arrangement, the composer determinds the style, pattern, qualities and even the makings of the entire music, and the relations between the frame and music, passage and passage. Also, he should make an estimation of the possiblities anx limitations for the music to make a deeper expression, thus to achieve a three-dimensional space and time for the music and frame and to abtain the most freedom and the initiative force in the creation.
