"Twilight" tells a love story between a vampire and a human. A good soundtrack and lens use may save a film of average quality. The film’s music selection is like a unique perspective, with new excavations on the subject of vampires. Under the background of the music, the delicate feelings of the characters suddenly appear, and the sense of hearing and vision combines the sense of nobility, mystery and fashion of the vampire movie together.

The 17-year-old heroine Bella is a girl with a difference. She is sensitive, smart and sweet. Because of her mother's remarriage, she moved from Fengchao Phoenix City, the driest climate in the United States, to a remote and filthy and rainy year-round win over Fox, like living with her father. "Full Moon" was the soundtrack when Bella left Phoenix to go to Foxtown at the beginning of the film. The Black Ghosts boldly used the rhythm of Funky Electronic. The slick electronic music matched the lyrics, expressing Bella's deep perseverance at the time. Feelings and a bit of confusion about the unknown future. The lead singer's voice travels through a highly infectious rhythm, and the situation created by the song is as remote as the place Bella is going to.

Bella met a mysterious classmate Edward Cullen in her new school, who was different from everyone Bella had met. When Bella first met Edward, Bella was very concerned about Edward's weird attitude towards Bella deliberately avoiding it. The lyrics of Blue Foundation in "Eyes On Fire" are provocative. This band combined with foreign cultures has a rich music creation style. They use more acoustic instruments in the atmosphere creation, which fully expresses Bella's mood and her inner doubts and dissatisfaction.

When Bella observed Edward and his family curiously, the imposing "Supermassive Black Hole" sounded, suggesting the extraordinary of this family. The singer of this single, Muse, is a British rock band whose music style combines indie rock, avant-garde rock, heavy metal music, classical music and electronic music. The lead singer Bellamy's vocals are similar to the singing style of the famous British band Radiohead, but Bellamy's wide sound range adds dramatic changes. The overall music style of this song is a new style that combines Brit-Pop and new avant-garde rock, coupled with guitarist Wolstenhome's storm-like strumming momentum, the style is like a riddle, but also quite aura.

The pop punk band Paramore contributed two songs to the soundtrack of the movie. Among them, "Decode" is an international trailer song created by Paramore for "Twilight". From the lyrics seems entirely from Bella's mood to write, can be described as "Tony

Chimera's Song." Another song "I Caught Myself" appeared when Bella accompanied her female classmates to buy dresses in Port Angels. Bella in the camera has no thoughts about shopping at all, thinking about the identity of the Edward family. The female lead singer of this song, Hayley Williams, is a 17-year-old girl. Her voice is rough and unruly, which is quite shocking and explosive. Paramore combines the characteristics of retro punk and Emo-Punk, allowing the female lead singer's voice to linger in these two areas, strong but lyrical and weak.

Edward is not only handsome, smart, and humorous, but also has a very common language with Bella. The two soon fell in love. Edward comes from an ancient and mysterious family of vampires. This family has chosen a unique way of life. They don't drink human blood. He always wanted to tell Bella to stay away from him. He didn't want to bring misfortune to her, but this kind of persistence was actually so feeble. Edward confessed to Bella in the dining room that he found that he could no longer keep his distance from her. Rob Pattinson used the guitar here to play the complex mood of the two casually, just like the title of the song "Never Think", they came together without worry.

At the prom, Edward and Bella, who were already in love, embraced and danced. Iron & Wine's "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" was used as the background song. This is a warm and refreshing folk tune, which is very romantic in conjunction with the movie. The clean tone and concise arrangement make the voice and lyrics of the song the focus. The lead singer’s voice is like an angel with wings folded, whispering on your shoulders; the seemingly inadvertent words and sentences are actually condensed and deep, and the sentences are frank and serious, abandoning any pretentiousness.

As the relationship deepens, Edward must control his bloodthirsty instincts because Bella is too close to himself. At this time, the mortal enemy of the Edward family also came to challenge, so the love between Edward and Bella needed to withstand layers of tests. "Bella's Lullaby" appeared in the episode where Edward Bella was taking venom. The dying Bella recalled the scenes of meeting Edward, and the sad background music sounded. Whether in the reinforced concrete or in the damp jungle, no matter how different the races are, Edward and Bella can still seek emotional comfort in each other. At that moment, the note is not just a note, it is also a kind of sorrow that entangles the heart.

The ending song is sung by the famous pop band Linkin Park and is called "Leave Out All The Rest". This song is as heavy as the title, and it means a farewell. The love of Edward and Bella, a pair of dying mandarin ducks, is always full of unpredictable crises. Perhaps the lovers can only "keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest" as sung in the song. In my memory, leave everything else alone).

The music of the whole movie incorporates alternative rock, noise pop, folk songs, secret electronic sound effects, LO-FI and other beautiful and sad tunes. From the full rhythm to the quiet and delicate lyricism, the music of the entire OST gradually changed from fierce confrontation to humane harmony, and the unconventional arrangement also appeared to be extraordinarily smooth and natural. This low-cost film adapted from a best-selling novel is not too brilliant in terms of story and special effects. Music suddenly adds a lot of charm to the film. It can be said that half of the music's credit is due to the success of the film.
