The article is devoted to the study of the role and influence of music on attracting the attention of the target consumer to the film (using the example of music in the trailer). The place of the trailer in the system of PR communications of the film is highlighted, and the high complementary role of music in the trailer is clarified. It is emphasized that music allows you to attract the viewer’s attention to the trailer or its moments, create an atmosphere and mood, evoke certain emotional reactions, enhance the effect of the visual series or play on a specific target audience. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the music in the trailer really allows you to expand the communicative field that arises when watching a film. Music resonates in a person, evokes certain feelings and moods, which has a positive effect on attracting attention to the finished work.

I see the potential of AI in learning and improving technical aspects, but I emphasize that true creativity comes from human feelings and experiences.

The article is called "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MUSIC. ITS IMPACT ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE FUTURE" in which I tried to explore in more detail the question of the impact of AI on the future in the arts.
