Scoring Music for Montage Movies

Music is an appreciation of the contents of the human heart, which is expressed in the form of sounds that are arranged in melody or rhythm and has beautiful elements or harmony. Today's music is not only a composition that is presented specifically for the sake of music itself, but music can collaborate with other visual arts such as movies. In the movie itself, there are various forms of editing techniques, for example, montage. In the montage, a shot is not only connected with other shots but must be reunited or made into conflict (the attraction of montage) to produce strong or deep meaning. The role of music/audio as a constructor of the atmosphere in a movie is called scoring. Scoring can also mean communication with the audience that supports the visual aspects presented in the movie so that the message from the movie can be delivered well, especially movies that use special editing techniques such as montage, which will be increasingly difficult to understand when not using right music elements. This research is expected to be a reference in understanding the technique of scoring music for ordinary people.
