Summary

This quote refers to the role of music in movies, highlighting its ability to create contrasting emotions and dynamics. Dissonance and consonance represent the tension and harmony within the music, which parallels the emotional and narrative arcs in a film. Dissonance creates a sense of unease or conflict, while consonance establishes a feeling of resolution and satisfaction. By manipulating these musical elements, composers can enhance the impact of a scene, heightening suspense, excitement, or drama, and ultimately contributing to the overall storytelling experience.
