Melodies can be themes

 * Another use of melodies
 * You can use melodies as themes.


 * Associating a melody with an actor, location, or action
 * In a movie, there are always themes. There are the "bad guy".  There is the "romantic love interest".


 * Some locations can have special meaning to the characters in the movie.


 * Certain actions can evoke certain feelings in the audience.


 * All of these need musical themes. A musical theme is simple melody which create s specific feeling.


 * Spoon feed the audience
 * It might seem unnecessary to the filmmaker but audiences like to be told what his going on. Audiences want the movie explained to them.


 * The only easy way to do this is with music. And the easiest way to do this is with musical themes.


 * When the bad guys appear, play a musical theme for the bad guys.


 * 1) * When the children appear, play a bright and bubbly theme for children (assuming you want the audience to like the children in your motion picture.)
 * When the love interest appears on the movie, play a romantic theme.
