Why Music is So Very Important in Film:

In cinema, music is a very pivotal and important tool. It can sometimes be an accessory to a scene or even be the best part of a scene, the whole mood of a certain part of a film could be completely different with different pieces of music. An example of this is in a video below.


In the video above you can see, the whole mood and perspective of the audience looking at the scene completely changes based on the music being played throughout the scene. Music selection most of the time is a very looked over detail by beginners, yet crucial part of film.

In many scenes in works of Cinema, the music chosen for a certain scene can make that scene notorious because of the way a scene is shot combined with the music to create a potentially legendary scene in Cinema due to how those two are combined to make something beloved to many viewers. Next to dialogue, music is one example for a non-visual reason to love a film.

Another example of very a famous scene incorporating music would be the scene from Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs. In the scene it shows character Mr. Blonde "interrogating" a cop and ending up beating on him and even cutting his ear off, the song "Stuck in The Middle" is played during this which plays out as a contrast to what's going on, an upbeat and quite happy song going on while Mr. Blonde is torturing someone. It gives the mood of the scene a sort of sick, twisted, playfulness and dark humor to it, which Tarantino is known for.
