As we at Cinemagic are leaders in visualizing ideas into motion pictures through cutting edge technology, we do our very best in visual storytelling. However, visual storytelling or production has a large number of things that require utmost focus. In this blog, we focus on one of the most important parts in the post-production process of visual storytelling – background score or background music and we aim to help you as a reader, to understand, briefly, at the least; the importance background music can play to enhance storytelling through motion pictures. Music can set the tone for a film. It gives the viewer an idea of the genre, the degree of intensity, and the type of film that it is. This happens very quickly although it’s a subconscious influence. Music contrary to the scene can also be produced which gives the audience a different perspective. Sometimes this is seen in storylines that have a twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wanted to create tension in a scene you could try a few methods such as juxtaposing contrasting scenes, using long deliberate close-up shots, showing glimpses of danger<\/u><\/a>, panning, dolly shots, fast action, silence, and the musical score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musical score can influence how people feel, it has a powerful way of steering our emotions. Think of how music composer, Bernard Herrmann’, famous Psycho<\/u><\/strong><\/a> shower scene, uses deliberately repeated shriek of violin strings to strike a chilling chord in its audience. The music builds up and mirrors the actor’s stabbing motion, leading to the moment of silence when this action ceases. The vicious tone makes us aware that we should be terrified, and indeed we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
