Have you ever noticed how much music adds to a movie? I was watching a really suspenseful movie recently and there was a part where the camera was just observing the scenery. This would have just seemed peaceful if no music was in the background. However, there was creepy music playing along with the shot and it made the movie just that much more suspenseful.
Music is such an important part in almost every movie. Even when there was ‘silent’ films there was still funny piano music playing to keep the audience entertained. Great acting in a movie is very helpful but it can’t be a great movie without great music as well.
The movie Insidious is a great example. It’s a horror film and the acting in it is great. Not only that but the storyline is unlike any horror film and kept you intrigued and scared. But if it wasn’t for the music it wouldn’t have been so top of the line for me. At the very beginning of the movie when the title comes up a bunch of violins keep hitting this ear piercing, bone-chilling note making it scary from the start. One of the songs in the movie itself was a song by Tiny Tim (and if you’ve ever heard him, you’d know why it’s in a scary movie) and it just added a whole other level of creepy to the movie.
Without music, movies would not be near as entertaining as they are with them.
