The use of music in a film.

I just got done watching the film. "he's just not that into you." This is a movie filled with drama. But for the drama to be enhanced and shown this is where the music comes into play. When there is a new relationship starting certain music would come on. When the guy didn't know what to do when he was cheating on his wife and they were going through problems a different confused music would come on. the sad music when she called for divorce. the exciting music when Ben and jen decided to get back together. then the sounds of love when he finally asked her to marry him. The sounds of love when gigi found out that she was an exception.
The movie was enjoyable but it would have not been the same without the music. I believe you can say this about most or all films/ programs. It sets the mood, it creates the suspense. music and sounds to so much for the viewer that without it you feel almost lost. There needs to be correct music in correct situations. if the wrong music is on the wrong message will be prevailed because you chose the wrong music. you could have the best acting in the world but with the wrong music it is almost worthless. You have grown so accustom to music that it has to be there and it has to be the right music.

  1. I agree! Music has to be strategically placed in movies or it just doesn't sound right.

  2. Yeah, music really does set the mood for films. Although I have watched movies where the music playing is opposite of what is happening on screen. This is often used to create comedy and/or irony.
