I’m going
to hand off this last post in my sound in film series to my favorite current
FilmStudier, the awesome Vaughn
Joy. Earlier this year for her weekly Review Roulette newsletter, Vaughn

both soundtrack and score. I couldn’t say it any better about the role of these
elements of sound in film, so I hope you’ll check out Vaughn’s review to round
off the week’s series!
