The repeating idea may be a rhythmic pattern, part of a tune, or a complete melody in itself. Both ostinatos and ostinati are accepted English plural forms, the latter reflecting the word's Italian etymology. Strictly speaking, ostinati should have exact repetition, but in common usage, the term covers repetition with variation and development, such as the alteration of an ostinato line to fit changing harmonies or keys.
Within the context of film music, Claudia Gorbman defines an obstinate as a repeated melodic or rhythmic figure that propel scenes that lack dynamic visual action.
"Riffs" is the twenty-sixth studio album by the English rock group Status Quo, released in 2003. Ten tracks were cover versions of pop and rock standards, the other five were re-recordings of songs they had previously issued during the 1970s. The initial release also included a bonus 9-track DVD, featuring footage recorded for television programmes and also the video for the 2002 Top 20 hit 'Jam Side Down', recorded on HMS Ark Royal.
The booklet includes studio (non-performing) pictures of the group taken at Powderham Castle, Devon, where they played a gig shortly before completing the album.
An Ostinato is a repeating musical pattern. This video is mostly made up of a single ostinato, performed on various instruments.

How to FIX a BORING Ostinato
It doesn't take much to make an ostinato more interesting!
⚔️ Learn To Compose An INTRODUCTION From Skyward Sword https://youtu.be/dRSw15TDsx4
Film composers use ostinatos all of the time. They give cues an underlying motor and are incredibly useful for laying down a driving layer that other harmonies and lines can be added to. But it's easy to write an ostinato that feels active but is really about as useful as a glorified metronome.

Resource: Melodic Ostinato Song
Ostinatos are terrific to do with students. Patterns are taught in both literacy and numeracy and you'll find kids get quite excited when they find patterns in music. Melodic ostinatos are presented in this song - repeating patterns made up of both pitch AND rhythm. The ostinatos are all based on the pentatonic scale and in simple 4/4 time rhythms.
