Cinema appeared in 1895. Even today, it is one of the newest arts that are being discussed. After cinema was invented, the films were shot for 30-35 years without any dialogue. Even during this period, the movies were accompanied by music, externally, with a violin or orchestra. The most important reason for this is the importance of emotion transfer in storytelling. Music, on the other hand, is the easiest way to transmit the senses to the human spirit. There is a stereotypical and universal word. "Music Is the Food of Soul."
