Dramatic events, dialogue, sound effects and intricate moments of suspense; sync alongside our own inner emotions and reactions to a film. The original music written for a film referred to as a “Film Score” has been composed to encompass a varied and expanded variety of various music genres. With today’s digital technology and audio sampling, a Director or Producer can take our emotions to the highest peak, or to the lowest peak, a mathematical formula to calculate the exact timing of each beat or rhythm which can make or break a film.
Each and every one of us will remember a film by the music and soundtrack, consciously or sub-consciously the profound effects of the music and composition can leave long lasting emotions within our body. Sometimes we are not aware of Why? such a film made a difference in our life, believing it was the story behind the script? the actors ?the place it was set? but do we ever question the music and sound that was present in the background? Within every step, moment and scene the composer has created a vibration and turned it into an expression on the screen.
The rise and fall of our breath, the beating of our heart, when two or more sounds vibrate on the same frequency they will naturally resonate together. Every word we use, hear, or see is a match automatically to the vibration of a concept, feeling, process, or relationship. With modern technology, we hear worldwide events instantly, without realising every sound we hear throughout the day be it on the TV, Internet, Movie, or Working environment has an influence on our consciousness at every moment. On an energetic level sound relates to our Throat Chakra, our communication, self -expression, our creative identity.
When we are creating we are making something that has not existed before, this is our gateway to the past and future, creativity is a pure expression of our spirit. A film will communicate it’s emotions through the music by the use of actions, expression, and communication all the elements that we use each and every day to shape our own reality and life.
