Music in the Movies

It's about time I bring up the importance of music in movies, don't you agree? Sounds change the way a movie is viewed, and the way the audience is impacted by it. Whether it's sound effects or a theme song, music affects a movie's capabilities and success.

Sound effects bring meaning to an action. That is music's way of exercise. Sound effects bring impact to a movement, changing the way one will look at it. For example, if a loud "BANG!" sound is heard when someone shoots a gun, the audience will fly back in their seats. However, not all sound effects have to be loud and obnoxious. A slight squeak when someone is walking, coming from their shoes, gives the audience an idea of what shoes the star in the movie is wearing. If a head-shot was all visually given to an audience, the sound effects from shoes will give them a bigger picture of the scene.

Music also affects a movie's capabilities and success in a theme song. We all recognize Harry Potter's theme "tune" when we hear it, making it a trademark. Another example is for a TV series. Every TV show today has a theme song that is played at the beginning of an episode. This little song presents/ explains the show in a minute. Without a theme song, most TV shows would have little recognizable material. A theme song makes, or breaks, a video.

Now, when you add sound effects to a movie with a theme song, you get a genius invention ready for any audience to enjoy. When you go out to make your own movie, remember the importance of a little squeak from a shoe or a minute-long song in the beginning. Once you've included these aspects, your movie is on it's way to the big screen.

Eat, breathe, and live music...
