What Is A Film Score?

A film score is original music by a composer written specifically for a film. Typically instrumental in nature, a film score helps enhance the storyline by dramatizing the emotions of each scene. Using the right music for a scene helps to convey the intended message of a scene and elicit the reactions that film producers want from viewers.
