Hollywood film music

Description

This network contains the collaboration of 40 composers of film scores and the 62 producers who produced a minimum of five movies in Hollywood, 1964-1976. This is a 2-mode network: a line between a composer and a producer indicates that the former created the soundtrack for the movie produced by the latter. The line values indicate the number of movies by one producer for which the composer created the music in the period 1964- 1976. The five top composers, each of whom earned 1.5% or more of the total income of Hollywood movie score composers in the 1960s and 1970s, are identified.

Attributes

This two-mode network has 102 vertices representing 40 composers and 62 producers. The network contains valued edges representing cooperation of producer and composer. Each edge has a valued attribute representin the number of films cooperated on between the composer and producer.
In addition vertices contain an attribute identifying the five top composers (1 - top 5 composer, 0 - not a top 5 composer).
