About
Mark graduated with a MA in Film and Media Studies from the University of Stirling in 1998 and received his PhD from there in 2003.

His thesis explored the relationship between film music and film genre. He has published on music and television and on music in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the music of Eric Serra in Luc Besson films, on music director Muir Mathieson's contribution to British cinema in the 1930s-40s and on the role of film music in creating a sense of place.  He is currently writing a textbook on film and music for Palgrave Macmillan, and a monograph on John Williams’ music for Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) for Scarecrow.
Research
As well as music and film, his research interests extend to music and the moving image in general (TV, pop videos, computer games, advertising), and he is developing a keen interest in researching food in film.
Teaching
His teaching includes co-ordinating FMS9B4 and FMS9AZ and lectures on FMS9C7, FMS9A7, FMS9X2 and FMS9X3.
