As a result of the study, the chromatic progression which is the harmony that has a common tone, and the harmony which does not have a common tone of James’s composition technique were revealed. In addition, his technique draws the three results of interaction with film and music: the ‘remind effect’,‘concetration effect’, and ‘tension effect’.
