No Country for Old Men:

-The lack of music in the scene brings attention to the smaller details and further brings in the
viewers' attention whilst also emphasizing emersion.
-This creates a very suspenseful and eerie atmosphere that feels real without the cost of drama.
-This shows us he is experienced and has been in the role of a lethal killer many times before
from his exact movement which is displayed through switches and clicks from opening doors
and flipping switches.

James Bond Specter:

-The music begins when fight begins


-It changes when James begins to lose at 1.36
-The music ends when the fight ends at 2.46

These two clips are two opposite ends of the spectrum. They show that done right a scene with
no music can create more suspense but with music can create an easier to watch scene with
less.

Music can be the most important factor in film, it is the key piece which ties a film together.
When used correctly it is unforgettable. The effect on the audience from music is huge, using
the correct tones can change the audience's entire perspective on characters.

This can be seen in films like Oppenheimer, Phantom Thread, Taxi Driver, The Shinning, Donnie
Darko and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
