Contents Title Page: Page 2 Analysis: Pages 3-8 Conclusion: Pages 8-9 Bibliography: Page 10 Name: Liam Stott English and Film & Media Studies Level One Unit Title: MED 130 - The Hollywood Blockbuster Unit Tutor: Marc O' Day Course Leaders: Marc O' Day/Melanie Selfe Assignment 2: Essay An exploration of the function of sound in the film The Fugitive. The majority of academic literature relating to the New Hollywood Blockbuster since the 1970s to the current day has been primarily focussed on the analysis and appraisal of the visual spectacle, complementing the merits of spectacular digital effects produced by Computer Generated Imagery. Furthermore, Alexandra Keller states that 'we tend to expect them to be loud and noisy' (Keller, 1999: 136), referring to the soundtrack of archetypal blockbusters such as Star Wars and The Fugitive. Keller is suggesting a 'dismissive attitude,' disregarding the significance of sound in the filmic experience, and thus epitomising the lack of academic attention to the study of sound
