Music on T.V.

Watch a television program or movie and discuss the use of music in that program/film. For example, does the music heighten emotion, distract from the action, complement the dialogue, or serve some other purpose?

    The best TV show that I have found that has the best selection of music is Grey's Anatomy. Every episode has a lot of music. I think that the music in the show most defiantly heightens emotions during the show. I've noticed that music is most often played during something significant or something emotional throughout the show. If something is sad, then the show will play slow, low music but if there is something amusing about the situations then the show will play more upbeat music. The beginning season really didn't play that much music that had vocals; it was mostly a wide variety of instrumental music. Actually, most of the show consists of instrumental music, I think that most of the time if the show is playing music that has vocals it is during a time in the show that no one is talking. Therefore, it heightens what is going on in the show at that time period. The music defiantly complements the dialogue because it just adds to the emotions. But the music really doesn't distract from the action, but instead draw you to the action. Another thing that I've noticed is that the music with vocals is played at the end of the show when the drama is increased and everything is coming to an end.
