Need Some Jazz Music For Your Video?
Jazz has long been one of the most utilized musical genres in film.
The reason Jazz is so fantastic for videos is that it's arguably the most diverse genre in all of music.
It's not just the most diverse in the general sense that it sounds different than other genres; it's by far the most varied harmonically and rhythmically.
Harmony is the main aspect of music for video (lyrics aside) that triggers the emotion from the audience.
Rhythm is the crucial aspect of a track that can connect with the physical movement/action in a scene.
That's what makes jazz music so versatile for video use.
What to Look For in Jazz Background Music For Your Video
Let's expand more on harmony and rhythm with some familiar scene examples.
Suspense
Jazz harmony is all about tension and release, which makes it a perfect match for any suspenseful scene.
The tension comes from dissonance, the feeling of something being not quite right.
Jazz music utilizes chords and harmony that you don't generally find in other genres, chords that can create an uncomfortable atmosphere until it resolves.
If you want your audience to be too drawn in to move an inch, try out jazz music with some dissonant harmony.
Race Against The Clock
Whenever you have a scene where someone is against the clock, it should clearly show the stress and emotion of the protagonist.
The best way to replicate that level of stress for the audience is through rhythm.
Odd time signatures like 5/4, 7/4, and 9/8 produce uneven rhythms that give a sense of being rushed or chased.
So if you want the audience to feel like they are running out of time, try experimenting with time signatures.
Romance
As well as being edgy and uncomfortable at times, jazz can be the most heartwarming music.
For a romantic scene, harmony and melody are more important than rhythm.
In this situation, harmony (chords) should evoke happiness and contentment rather than tension.
Instrumental melodies in music are often nothing more than a catchy jingle or hook.
In romantic jazz music, instrumental melodies are written as if it were a for a vocalist; that's why these melodies are so sweet and emotional.
