The role of music in a movie

Everyone loves some kind of music genre or movie, so how does the music affect movies. In movies, music is everything. The most important part of music in movies is the different moods that music sets for us.

The way that the producer of the movie wants us to feel about the movie is directly related to the mood and tone of the movie, this aspect of the movie, is portrayed through the music. If the director wants us to feel sad for a character, then they will play sad music, which is appropriate for the scene in the movie. Or if the director what to make the viewer’s feel excited or pumped up for the next scene in the movie, the director will play music that makes us excited to see the next scene of the movie. Without music there would be no sounds other that the characters talking, and no matter how good an actor is, they need sound effects and music, to be dramatic, and to get their feelings, and emotions across to the audience.

This leads me to my next point, that without music the movie would be boring, and have no emotion or action. Without the music running in the background, we would be exposed to the really bad acting of some actors and actresses. No offense to the actors, but the music really does make the movie ten times better. Even in the earliest movies, such as silent films, the only noise was the music and sound effects, which made those movies enjoyable. We didn’t have actors reading lines, we just had actors acting out what they were doing, and the music set the mood of the movie. If something bad happened in the movie, instead of the actor saying that something bad happened, we listen to the bad part of the movie going on.

One of the best examples of how music affects the movie the most is in horror films. Without the scary music the film wouldn’t be scary anymore. We get the nervousness and the adrenaline from the music before the actual scary thing happens. The music that leads up to the scary part of the movie, just makes the scene scarier because you don’t know when the event is going to happen.

            

Overall music in a movie just adds more emotion and sets the mood of the film. Without music we would have some very boring movies.
