Music plays a major role in the film

Music as a Significant Aspect in Movies

When it comes to the emotional aspects of a movie or even the improvement of the plot, music plays a significant function in the movie. Because of this, movie makers frequently take the soundtrack into account. If a good soundtrack goes well with the chosen movie, it can have strange impacts on the spectators. A well-known score composer named Trevor Alfred James actively contributed to the creation of the "Promontory" film score. This specific piece became one of the most well-liked soundtracks, praised for both its profundity and its emotion. In the early years precisely the 80s, movies were accompanied mostly by sounds that were designed and packaged specifically for mass audience appeal. It was a splendid era for those with "ears." This is because outlandish hair rock was popular and so were the gigantic movie anthems. Similarly, the introduction of classic rhythm and blues was eminent. A good example is the film Flashdance in 1983 which had a pop soundtrack (Empire, 2016). Some of these soundtracks came to be classics. A close analysis reveals that the Promontory is significantly different from the earlier films. In this particular score, the composers utilized a combination of both orchestral and electronic instruments, creating what some call the best inspiring soundtrack with a classic appeal. Unlike the earlier approach that appeals to the masses, this music beautifies and intensifies the storyline of the film, rousing emotions that go hand in hand with the events. Likewise, its composition varies from the earlier electronic and classical genre by uniquely incorporating orchestra, and electronic instruments bringing about a mixture of classical, sentimental, and ambient atmosphere; a sign of new and advanced realms (Mueller, 2017).

Impact of the Promontory Soundtrack

As such, the soundtrack is a distinctive piece from previous ones and its use to exemplify the film creates an intensity that has remained years after the movie was produced.
