The examples are taken from The Lord of the Rings – Extended Edition, directed by Peter Jackson, and are used for the purpose of educational commentary and criticism. I'll explain what a leitmotif is, and how it connects with People, Places, Objects, or Concepts, and how it can be developed, before looking at some examples from these movies. We go behind the film score and look closer at analysing how the composer thinks about writing music for film with orchestra. PART 1 focuses on Places of The Lord of the Rings: The Shire theme, Rohan theme, Gondor theme, The White Tree theme, and the Isengard / Uruk-hai theme PART 2 focuses on Connections between different themes in the story: The Fellowship theme, The Ring theme, Sauron’s theme, The Elves theme, Temptation, Smeagol, and Gollum PART 3 looks at extra themes: Rescue, Eowyn, and Shadowfax Future videos similar to this one will be released, so: Like, comment, or subscribe for more!
