Richie's work here sits at the intersection of two disciplines already present elsewhere on this site: the compositional sense developed as a musician, and an analyst's instinct for structure — applied to how film scores carry narrative.
A framework for analyzing film scores not as accompaniment but as structural narrative machinery — treating musical choices (theme, motif, instrumentation, timing) as evidence about how a film is telling its story, in the same way a market analyst reads price action as evidence about underlying conditions.
This is placeholder framing. Replace it with your actual description of the Motion Picture Scoring Model: what it measures, how it's applied, and 1–2 films you've used it on as worked examples.
A complementary practice applying narratology — the study of narrative structure — to film, examining how story architecture (point of view, temporal structure, character function) interacts with a film's score and visual grammar.
Add specifics on your narratology approach: which theorists or frameworks you draw on, which films or genres you've focused on, and whether this exists as essays, a methodology paper, or ongoing notes.
Placeholder list — replace with real titles once you decide which analyses to publish here.
