film & tv music

One can think of few films which do not use music in some way, either as an underscore, a title track, or as a featured song or moment. At times, instrumental underscores can have a subtle and even subliminal effect on the audience. Because the focus of our attention is on the visual action and narrative, we are often unconscious of how the music is shaping and influencing our emotional response to the scene. At other times, the music can play a much more dominant and overt role in film - determining the pace of the editing or transforming mundane scenes into ones filled with dread or terror - such as in Bernard Hermann's remarkable score for "Psycho" (1960).

The following are some examples taken from Neil Haydock's film media work:-

It is ... a chance for the untrained, untried, untested Richard Howell, son of one of the misguided backers, to get into show business. But a fateful encounter between Howell and an irascible Genie jeopardises the show and shatters Howell’s life…
