Effective Theme Songs in Movies

On a Sunday night, I decided to watch a comedy named “Morning Glory” with a couple of my friends. Even after watching the trailer, I was still quite interested and confused of what to expect from the movie. The movie had a good balance of senior actors like Harrison Ford and upcoming actors like Rachel McAdams. Throughout the movie I had a great time laughing and enjoying every bit of humor presented in the movie. Just as the movie is about to end, a random song started to play. The song started at its chorus, and it immediately caught my attention. The song is a great match to the happy ending of the movie and it greatly captured the mood/tone of the movie. The combination at the end kept me happy and joyful for the rest of the night. I think the combination of songs and movie scenes acts like great marketing for both the movie and the song. In my case, the movie inspired me to find out more about the song and I ended up purchasing the song from iTune. Enjoy 🙂

ps. notice toward the end of the trailer, the song gets played 🙂
