It also manifests in our everyday lives, ranging from weddings to even funerals.

Each element on its own, has an important role it plays in the creation of a film or movie.

Soundtracks have become more commercialized and are sold as CDs in stores and on iTunes. Along with the financial gain of artists whose songs are featured in films, there is also the benefit of increased exposure and popularity.

The musical film has always held a special place for me. From my time as a drama student in high school, my eyes have been opened to the amazing world of the musical and especially the musical film. The musical film is a film genre in which the characters sing songs that are integrated into the overall story. Since musicals first began in theaters, musical films usually contain similar elements. These elements often simulate that there is a live audience watching. In a sense, the film viewers become the audience members, at a theater production, as the actor performs directly to them.
