Does this sound familiar?
Your grandparents may remember the old silent Charlie Chaplin Comedy movies. If so, they will probably tell You that without the music that accompanied them, these movies won't be much fun.
Later, when movies started to have sound, the music remained, because Directors use musical plays and sound to create special whims and feelings. We call these music cliches.
In horror movies and thrillers, for example, loud sounds tell you when something frightening is about to happen. Violin melodies accompany emotional scenes in romantic movies, and in adventure movies we use sharp and fast sounds for battle scenes.
Some music cliches introduce certain places. Hong Kong shots, for example, often have xylophone music in the background, while Paris shots come with melodies played on an accordion. There are many music cliches for many types of scenes.
So, the next time you watch a movie, you pay attention to the music in the background. You will be surprised how many music cliches You can identify.
