Film Vocabulary- Sound (Part Two)

Soundtrack
Soundtrack- music accompanying a TV show or film. Not necessarily written for the film itself.

Score- original music written specifically to accompany a film. Usually instrumental but sometimes has singers (for example, the Bond title track "The Writing's On The Wall" was written specifically for Spectre)

Incidental Music music in a play, television program, radio program, video game, film, or some other presentation form that is not primarily musical. The term is less frequently applied to film music, with such music being referred to instead as the "film score" or "soundtrack".   Incidental music is often "background" music, and is intended to add atmosphere to the action

Themes- a musical cue that will represent the film from then on



Stings- short bursts of music used in radio or TV shows to bump together different sections or chapters

Ambient Sound- background noise such as people talking
