Abstract: 
Investigated the effects of film music variables and individual viewer
differences on the viewers' interpretation and perception of the
emotional mood, genre type, action, and possible outcomes of the film.
An experimental film 10 min long was created to resemble part of a real
feature film with various interpretations. Three professional film music
composers produced soundtracks for the film in the style of a thriller,
a melodrama, and one other version. Five versions were selected
differing in style, orchestration, use of motifs, and the place and
length of the music in relation to the film. 412 Ss (14–92 yrs old)
responded to both standardized rating scales and open-ended questions
about the relationships between the characters and about the history and
outcome of the events depicted by the film excerpt. Results indicate
that film music polarizes the emotional atmosphere and influences the
understanding of the plot.
