Divine Music in Motion
Oh, Music, How You Move Me!
Have you ever watched a director's cut of a movie? It often lacks a musical score. The director talks over the film, explaining each scene's aim. It's easy to get distracted. Without the music, you miss the story's intentional hook.
On the flip side, have you been caught up in the moment during a very emotional scene in a movie? Maybe you noticed the music, but most likely, you were just immersed in the moment. Sometimes everything is said through the musical score—no words are spoken, just a glance from across the room paired with the right strings to evoke emotion. An opening montage, with scenes strung together by a masterfully designed piece of music, can share a story’s backstory without adding too much to the movie’s length.
