Music Enhances Movies

A movie without music wouldn’t deliver the same impact as one with an added music composition. A score in a movie plays a crucial role in capturing your attention. Music compositions support the story, creating emotional reactions and feelings that capture every scene.

Examples of the impact of composing for film can be seen in any genre of film. Let’s take a horror film for example. When watching a gory scene, adding haunting music helps the scene come alive and creates a world, enticing emotion. Without an underscore, scenes of gore wouldn’t be as scary, making the scene less effective in engaging the viewer.

Music Fills The Silence

Now let’s explore how a music composer writes for a film. The composer collaborates with the film director, watches the film carefully. In music composition for film, there is a technique called spotting. In this technique, the composer identifies places in each scene where a change occurs, such as specific beats in action. 

We want to find the places in the film where a new or different emotion occurs, especially during moments of silence in the dialogue between characters. The composer notes the timing of each change in real time and determines which emotion would best support each scene. After completing the spotting process, the composer writes a musical piece for each scene. 

Film Scoring: A Surprise To A Story

The most crucial aspect in film composition is to feel what you see. If you can’t feel what you see, you can’t relate to a scene. A great film score evokes strong emotions and wraps the emotion around each scene. Music composition is like wrapping paper -it adds a surprise to the story. This is the essence of scoring music in the world of film.
