These videos looks at the leitmotifs, and how the composer develops his themes as the story develops, giving a lot of examples of how the themes are used throughout the film, to match the mood of the movie. 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 analyse 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
