Different categories of film music
As with everything else, music also comes in all shapes and sizes. The simplest category is stock music. This works in a similar way as stock photos: you buy a piece of music online and you paste it under a visual production. Obviously, this is not specifically composed for the production and therefore it can quickly become generic or even cheap. Other companies can also use the same music. For budget reasons, some customers sometimes choose stock music, but we do not recommend it.
The second category are music loops. In addition, the beat, the melody and other parts can be used separately. We use these already developed loops as a modular system under the visualization. The music fits better with the production, because you can improve it as you wish, but in principle it is still not entirely unique.
The latter category is music that is specially composed for visual production. This creates the biggest impact. You can also adjust everything in terms of timing, so that image and sound reinforce each other optimally. And the beauty is: no one has this music at their disposal, only your company. The effect is great, because the music emphasizes every detail that comes into view with sound as well. This takes the viewer along in the story, creating an emotional connection between the viewer and the visualization.
