Abstract
In today's world, movies play a big part in many lives when it comes to entertainment. Essential to each movie is the film score that accompanies it. A quick search of popular scenes from well-known movies with the music removed will illustrate this point. A well-established technique used by many film score composers constitutes the introduction of certain themes to represent and emphasize particular aspects of the film. Variations of an established theme will highlight different moods and thereby help to communicate to the audience what they should be feeling. A study of the scene in 'Up' called 'Married Life' will reveal the real power behind this technique.
