Music, it is such an important part of film. Since black and white picture music accompaniment has always been a contributor to movies. First off, music allows you to set yourself a time and place for your scene, generally classical music will give a sense of medieval times, and county gives an idea of western locations. Anticipation can also be given through music, different sounds alert the audience to an upcoming event, especially danger.Continuity between scenes can be provided with music. In horror movies you always hear the iconic theme of the killer before they claim their victim. Finalizing the last scene of your movie is very important, and of course using music will help with that. Gently laying down the music on the last scene will help ease the audience out of the movie world, rather than cutting off the last scene and leaving your audience confused. Lastly, music fills up silence it keeps shots from being awkward.
I love films with good immersive music. It always brings everything together. Choosing between a custom score at points and a already released song would be a tough decision at points. Additionally a custom score may be expensive. Although getting the rights to use a published song may be costly as well. Royalty free music would be great for practicing filmmakers. I like all the different ways you can apply music in a movie, it is something I look forward to this year.
