Music in Movies

The movie I chose to watch is Twilight. Throughout the whole movie the music is dark and eerie to correspond with Bella slowly finding out that Edward is a vampire. A lot of the music played in the movie is by the piano and has a slow tempo. Also a lot of the music seems as if it is played in minor because of the eerie feeling to it. In one particular scene she is looking up things on the internet about vampires and the eerie music gets louder and more intense as she is finding more and more things that she believes are about Edward. At another point in the movie the music does speed up a little bit. During the chase scene where Bella is being hunted down by vampires the music is very fast, loud and intense followed by a calm piano piece after the chase and fight are over. I believe the music contributed very well to the theme and feel of this movie.
