Importance of Soundtracks in Movies

As everyone knows, in the cinema all films have music that plays throughout the scenes that link the sequences of images and that help you understand and interpret how a character can feel at a specific moment or recognize a moment of suspense, terror or love. Most of the movies you can remember by a very characteristic melody of them and that when listening to them they evoke an image or scene from the movie that you liked or that you have seen. That is the effect of a job well done at all levels, since it usually gives you a good feeling.

It is not easy to find a good soundtrack, so much so that if you investigate in search of something original you find those that already exist. There are many movies that their OST is an incredible and memorable subject, since it is 100% identifiable and fits perfectly with the time and the scenes. You can say that this soundtrack is an inseparable part of the film, since it gives it a more than necessary essence.

From a non-professional point of view in the field, you could say that it is very pleasant to find a movie with a good soundtrack, since the images are complemented by an additional auditory stimulus that accompanies you throughout the scenes, making you think and enjoy the moment. Music is an aid to narration, it is a way of characterizing characters, a way of accentuating the rhythm of the scene; Used wisely, it makes a magnificent film somewhat superior.

If there is one thing that is assured, it is that cinema owes a lot to music and vice versa. Music is a great medium to convey emotions and great composers and directors know this and take movies to a higher level than they were.

It cannot be highlighted as better or worse OSTs since each one has their own tastes but to recognize one you only need to think if you remember it, what it has made you feel and if you would see that movie again.
