Music in Movies Sets a Mood

Music is another one of these modern cinemotography techniques that imbues the viewer with a sense of godlike insight about what's going on. Music in a movie doesn't just set a mood, but it also provides information that's not available to the characters. Though i think it's also interesting that sometimes characters in movies behave as if they can hear the same music that the audience can. But i think maybe in those cases, the the suggested effect is really that the character either somehow knows or believes they know something in an extra sensory or pre cognitive way.
