I love marvel movies. I just love them. Being a Chinese, I had a childhood without most of the comic like Ironman, fantasy 4, Spiderman, I fall in love with the franchise as soon as I watch the first movie. But something always got me thinking—why I always can feel the mood of the characters in the movies? I mean, the marvel franchise is good, but not the best. Then how come they can make such pleasant mood? Not only the movies, even the trailers? So I when to research it. From that, I learn what is a so called “can music”.
The reasonthat can music calls a can music, is defiantly not because it was held inside of a can. It’s more like a pre-complete music, with specific mood label on it. So when you have a crying scene, you can just find the tape that labels “sad” on it and put it on the video, just that simple.
The first can be music was mentioned in a passage of Motion Picture Patents Company, also label them with mood, then the artist can find them quickly when they need to use it in videos. Put it in a more interesting way to describe it, the can music system is more like a huge shelf, all the different type of feeling and mood correspond to a thousand diverse music, just take it when ever you need it. However, can music was not first applying on movies. In the early days, it was always used in commercials and trailers.
Another very important part of the can music, it always comes with the word “epic”, the easiest style that the audience will be reached on. The harmony is still the most common but also the most important. This always allows the song expresses a complete feeling and has a stronger scene of what is going to happen next. On the instruments that most of the can music nowadays will use are 3 main types combine together: the theme park use laboratories, then follow the chordophones, the drums are in the background. It was first seen in the Bourne identity franchise. Later be used widely in Hollywood.
So next time when you watch a movie, don’t be surprised that you will feel happy or sad at certain point, because when we watching the movies, we are just the pineapple in the can, and we can do nothing about it.
This was an interesting topic, because I have experienced and I am sure many have that listening to a song that reminds you of a sad time, or makes you more emotional than others. I have had a passion for music when I played the piano for more than 7 years, so I can definitely relate to a love for music and your post
This was an interesting topic. However, I did find myself getting confused trying to read this due to to the grammar errors. I would also suggest inserting some links that you have gotten your information from, this would help make your point stronger. Interesting idea, but could have been written and formatted better.
I am very interested in your topic. I love music and I do pay a lot of passion on it. I have learned clarinet since ten years ago, and I am the first clarinet in my middle school’s orchestra. In the daily time, I always wear the earphone and listen to music. As far as I am concerned, music does can make me cry. Especially for some animates’ background music, people can easily be touched with both the voice of narrators and background music.
My favorite musician who wrote many famous background music

Very confusing post, a lot of grammar errors and it has hard to understand. Interesting topic but could have been better written
I first read this article because I was a bit confused with the article title, thinking there was a typo or something. However, it turned out to be an interesting topic. 98% of the time I do have a emotional response to movies, and never thought anything of the music being a art of that. Unless it is a scary movie and the music becomes loud and harsh, I normally don’t pay attention to the music influencing anything. So, I further researched this idea and found an article about how music creates emotional responses that i though you might enjoy!
