Music, make photos alive in video

I want to talk about this, because I found a few people like to add still photos in their video. As we know, picture is picture. If we are satisfied with slides show, movies will be abandoned sooner or later. Why should a series of still pictures be blended on a screen to produce motion pictures? I think what we need is a reflection of the real world rather a momentary character. Whatever we use 24 frames, 32 frames or 64frames, what we want to get is a reflection of object in real world. So we need show others what a object should be.

However, photos can give us another effect, sometimes. Think about that, have you ever stared at something in television or movie screen for a long time? Have you need a stop in show because you want to see all details? Or have you ever recall a still picture in your mind when you were watching a detective film? You may not agree that we all would like see still photos in a movie, but definitely, we all want to get still photos in a proper time.

Now, if we just put something out there, still, silent, without any off scene sound, what do you think?

So, we need something along with still pictures. I believe that this "something" is supposed to be music. A good background music can make photos alive in video. For example, sound music heightened the joyous atmosphere of the movie. And a music with sadness or slushy emotional music could draw tears from audience. That's music!

In sum, I believe next time when I add music to my video, I should be more conservative than this time.
