Use of Music in Film

We can see music being used to add depth and emotion to scenes in film. A few examples are:

Video 1:

Here we see heroic music being used to make the heroes seem very powerful and victorious to the audience but then the music goes silent for when one main heroes get hit with an arrow. I think the film maker purposely did this to invoke a sense of victory for these characters and make you think they are going to win only for the music to stop and one of them to start to lose. This is effective because it creates a contrast that shocks the audience and makes them feel the sense of loss which makes the audience connect with the story and characters more.

Video 2:

Here we see the music being used to set a definite image in the audience's head. As well as making the fans of this film series connect by using the characters main theme that has been consistent throughout the films it also gives you a representation of who James Bond is. This music delivers the image of class and sophistication while also being sneaky and charming. I believe the film maker did this to specifically define the character and show them exactly what James Bond is about.
