Sounds in Sci-Fi Films
In the Star Wars movies, the appearance of the villains onscreen is likewise accompanied by deep or military sounds. What most audience members don't notice is that most protagonists also have their own theme music. The main Star Wars theme, written by John Williams, plays whenever Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia face important decisions, and when Obi Wan Kenobi dies.
The old Star Trek series, when the soundtrack used to be composed by a live orchestra watching the film footage. Bach character had his or her own individual theme music, which was always played whenever they were on screen. Mr Spock's theme, for example, is played by ''an instrument that couldn't possibly be romantic, a bass guitar, down in the low register, with no resonance. It just klunks out the theme'' Star Trek Classic also played with the voices of alien characters. They would electronically raise or lower the voices of these actors to create an inhuman effect.
