Music

Different genres have different tones

Thriller has melancholy and sorrowful

depending on the excitement of the film the pitch varies

In action films it would be quite a high pitch

In films that contain blood and gore it would have a low

pitch

Music represents the main character e.g. mysterious character

more mysterious music or dull character more dull music.
