But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide theyre not so different after all. Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industryeven before the voices of actors were recorded. In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience.Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear. Using this knowledge, composers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences. Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect, bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality. The use of dissonant(不和谐的) tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension. Humans naturally become unnerved when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger, like those that animals make to warn against predators(捕食者).As crucial as it is, the best film music is subtle. All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotionthey shouldnt realize whats causing it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.In keeping with this principle, some filmmakers are even using whats called “infrasound”(次声波) to arouse fear. While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the range of the human ear,
