Music Notation for Cinematic Storytelling

How narrative is constructed in filmmaking closely resembles how music is written. But in music the 11th-century invention of musical notation allowed composers to edit their musical ideas on parchment producing sophisticated emotional effects when played. It greatly contributes to the ability to identify and visualize a system of patterned relationships: pitch and melody major and minor scales polyphony and counterpoint meter and tempo sonata form and symphony motif and sequence theme variation and improvisation. However there is no such a visual display method to express emotion and narrative in cinema that can be used as a composer does notation. As a result my research is focused on other ways to conceptualize and apply the techniques of musical composition to filmmaking.
