The Extra Terrestrial Original Trailer 1982

The music in this opening scene of this film consists of non diegetic music, violins playing quietly as a Narrator speaks over scenes from the movie. As the trailer goes on the music becomes more dramatic with trumpets being blown to match the images being shown on screen. The Crescendo of this scene consists of a big orchestra ending which highlights the credits including the John Williams the Composer.

Star Wars 

The non diegetic fanfare of music in this opening scene is very dramatic, an orchestra playing strings and bass. The diegetic sound Crescendo in this scene is from the engine of a spaceship which is slowly flying through the space foreground, as it fires shots at another spaceship which is in the background. The drama of the music matches the scenes duplicated on scene  

2001: A Space Odyssey

This scene opens with the sound of low frequency humming, which makes the scene very dramatic. A trumpet is then heard being blown very loudly followed by kettle drums beating. The Crescendo of the sound in this scene is the orchestra coming to an abrupt, dramatic, & enchanting ending as the Sun rises from behind a planet. 

This iconic movie soundtrack brings people back to 2001, this movie was directed by Stanley Kubrick, & the music is composed by Richard Strauss.
