The Role Of Science Fiction Music In Movies

By Brenda Warner


Musical sound takes on a number of roles so as to bring out the best in the movie in matters relating to expression as well as storytelling. It is rather vital for all movie producers to be mindful of musical aspects as a movie is in the course of production. Stipulated are various suggestions as to why science fiction music is necessary in movies.

Tones can put a judgment to particular movie scenes. It can portray that a particular battle scenario is heroic or perhaps a dialogue is sad. During the early days of movie production, the function of musical tones was majority of the time meant to comment on images. In the present day, most perceive this as an aspect that is annoying but if it is used cleverly it does help in pushing the audience towards the right direction.

Songs can also work very well in establishing a specific period. Musical sounds which are baroque take people back to the 18th century although references could be subtle. Flashbacks of decades ago for example are in most cases well supported by use of a musical style which relates to the time depicted in the film and thus ensures the flashbacks are more understandable.

There are tunes used to bring scenes together. A previously harsh scene is able to become a rather soft one by simply incorporating certain tunes. It is furthermore useful in expressing different feelings of actors. A neutral look can take on different emotions and this is achieved by use of musical sound. The audience also experiences the same depending on tunes used.

Doubtful content can actually be taken to the right direction. This has to be used very cleverly. A good example is when a character is thought of as a good guy but in real sense is the villain. But in such a case this only gets revealed towards the end. As the movie goes on, the audience may at times figure out that he/she is actually the villain but sound tracks could be used in making you think otherwise.

Musical sounds takes on the role of creating the idea of an issue not being correct. Such creativeness works wonders in situations like when a dialog seems to be neutral does not match what is being talked about. On the flip side creepy musical tones during such scenes will bring out the notion that something is not right.

Songs have the power of strongly influencing whether a scene is to turn out serious or laughable. It is able to use this ability to portray nature of a character or a certain situation as the movie plays on. A very simplified example is a character who is pretending to be evil but on the other hand due to the sound tones, he/she is portrayed as one who is not evil.

Musical compositions play a long list of functions in the production of movies. The list is in real sense not exhaustible on the grounds that songs are very versatile meaning that they can take on very many roles. The above named are some of the main purposes of songs during movie making.
