About the Author

Emilio Audissino (University of Southampton, UK) is a film scholar and film musicologist. Dr. Audissino's main research interests are Hollywood and Italian cinema, film style and technique, horror and comedy, film analysis, and sound and music in films. His book Film/Music Analysis: A Film Studies Approach (2017) concerns a method to analyse music in films that blends Neoformalism, Gestalt Psychology, and Leonard Meyer's musicology. A John Williams specialist, he is the author of John Williams's Film Music: 'Jaws', 'Star Wars', 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and the Return of the Classical Hollywood Music Style (University of Wisconsin Press, 2014), the first book in English on the composer.
