No one can deny the role of music clip in a video or film. Music is the core element that defines and shapes emotional responses in a video. Music and film are made for each other, that’s why we can’t imagine a video without music.
What is the Role of Music clip in Filmmaking?
From classical films to pop culture, documentaries to storytelling, corporate videos, or TV commercials, music clip plays a pivotal role in each type of filmmaking. However, like the rest of the editing work, the use of music during filmmaking is an art. What magic music clip can play in a video? Let’s have a look:-
- Tone setting: The selection of music is important because it sets the tone for a video or movie. From the kind of music, the audience can have an idea about the genre and intensity of a video. Along with video and dialogue, music creates a third input that helps the audience to think and interpret the scene. This all happens in the subconscious of a viewer. So, the language of music can be used to amplify the effectiveness of scenes in a video.
- Conflicting thoughts: Sometimes music doesn’t match the scenes. When there is a twist in the story or reality is opposite to the dialogue, then a message can be conveyed through playing contradictory music. Sometimes we use music to create a false sense of anticipation to trick the audience that something is going to happen but it doesn’t.
- Develop a Theme: This is the case usually in movies or TV commercials where a music theme is designed to represent a particular film or brand. With the progress of the story, the melody of the theme changes in terms of size or volume.
- Character development: Some music themes are specially designed to represent particular characters in a video or documentary. Whenever that character is about to come, that theme is displayed to give hints to the audience.
- Altering the tempo: To retain the attention of the audience the tempo of the music is altered. This manipulates the perception of time and the story doesn’t appear draggy despite the fact. If not done in an effective manner, the audience may get bored with the video.
- Emotion expression: Who can do it better than music? But the fact is that music can do much more than make you feel happy or sad. It can make you think or feel in a certain way about the story or characters. Even silence speaks when music is displayed in the background.
- Connecting pieces of a puzzle: Music helps to interpret the story better than dialogue. It subconsciously glues different scenes together to help the audience join all pieces of the puzzle and better understand the story. Also, editing is better with music as it blends scenes well and smoothens the video edit.
- Culture and period depiction: Music can explain an era in a better way if merged with the set and characters. For example, the culture of Arabs, India, and life in Spain or Egypt, each has a cultural music that depicts it well.
- Comedy: An old-school idea that is used in the comedy genre is Micky-mousing. Not only Tom and Jerry’s movie had this effect but many Disney movies for kids and Charlie Chaplin’s movie had it. In this effect, anything happening on screen is coupled with a piece of similar music.
