Sounds like...
Nowadays, going into a store just means a click of the button , with iTunes superseding most of the major album stores going into music stores is becoming virtually nil. We all know this, it has been going on for awhile.
But it occured to me that with the onslaught of rental videos now available to download, with the charts going up and down so constantly based on fickle listeners, that this not only affects the music industry but the film industry as well.
Take the sleeper hit Juno. One of the top albums on iTunes is the little ditty at the end of the movie. Obviously this entices more viewers to both the soundtrack and the film. A better yet example is the hauntingly beautiful " falling slowly" from the movie " Once" which got much deserved publicity from the Oscars and as a consequence is quickly becoming more popular on iTunes. A massive frenzy has started to see that tiny little movie, which has barely shown in hardly any cinema.
A good soundtrack can sometimes determine a film's memorability. What would " Say Anything" be without the song? Nowadays, in the digital music world this can become increasingly difficult with viewer's attention span much more sporadic and fickle, the key is to try and sell it hard, and sell it fast.
The future is such that we are headed to a point where we will no longer even need to go to the cinema to watch our films, and as such we will probably determine the success of a film not in terms of days and tickets but in clicks and seconds.
