Music plays a major role in developing the themes and tones of visual work. It shapes how we perceive visual imagery on our screens. Most films require music to convey the emotions that the director is trying to get across. However, in some cases music is not needed like with the film No Country for Old Men. Having no score helped it stand out and earn support from critics however many thought this would lead to scoreless films in the future which did not happen. In my own work i think having a score is an essential element as in horror and thriller the score generates fear in the viewer.
