The presence of music in films has defined part of the ontological, narrative, expressive, dramatic, psychological and even historical mechanisms with which the cinematographic language has articulated the diegetic space-time. These issues are discussed in this work, which completes a study of music present and articulated in cinema and investigates the aesthetic relationship between music and image.
On the one hand, the work describes the aesthetic principles expounded in the bibliography on the relationship between music and image when both are projected together on a cinema screen are described. And on the other hand, an innovative study on the genealogy of cinematographic language is being developed, focusing on how it has evolved to the present day and what is the role of music in the successive forms of audiovisual expression.
