Music

Music The music that accompanies a film can be categorised as being part of the soundtrack or the score. In both cases the purpose of music is primarily to elicit an emotional response from the audience. When used effectively in conjunction with the images, music is often the most powerful way that a director manipulates us.

This is technically any of the music that is used in a film (including the score) but commonly refers to only the songs (pop, jazz, blues etc). Pop songs which are "needle dropped" into a specific scene in film for added emphasis are not considered part of the score, although occasionally the score's composer will write an original pop song based on his themes, such as James Horner 's " // My Heart Will Go On // " from // Titanic //, written for Celine Dion.

A film score (also sometimes called background music or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film, forming part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects. The score comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question
