American composer Aaron Copeland wrote in The New York Times in 1949, “Five Aesthetics of Film Music”, discussing many of the ways music adds to and supports meaning within film.
The first two Aesthetics are:
1 - “Music can create a more convincing atmosphere of time and place.”
Music “is associative - bagpipes call up images of Scotland, the oboe easily suggests a pastoral scene, muted brass connotes something sinister.”
2 - “Music can be used to underline or create psychological refinements - the unspoken thoughts of a character or the unseen implications of a situation."
“Frequently, music can imply a psychological element far better than dialogue can.”
Foley is a sound effects technique that is used to enhance the sounds of a film. Sounds that are typically created by a Foley artist are the minor sounds that help to add realism to a scene; sounds such as cloth rustling, taking a teacup out of a saucer and hitting someone. The process of creating Foley sound effects is often quite creative, such as banging coconuts together to resemble horses hooves, snapping celery to resemble breaking bones or thumping a watermelon to resemble punching someone.
