Does anyone listen to film scores? Does anyone know anything about film scores? What do you think a film score's importance is in a movie?
Please share your thoughts. (Just a thought.)

I've only bought one movie score and that's because it came with a package - book, movie, and cd. It was for The 10th Kingdom.
I do think that music is very important to a movie. It can make or break a scene. The music sets the tone and atmosphere for the scenes.
Just some of my thoughts.

just like in the game halo. the music on that is awesome. i played it once without sound/music and it was like just another generic game.

I see what you mean, but games are another story. Game music's importance is different than film music's.

Well film music is the music I listen to. I also listen to game music. Music in a film can make or brake the movie. Scores are crucial to the film. And they are also very enjoyable to listen to. I write in that style. I plan to be a film composer as my career. Some of my favorite score writers are Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and my favorite, John Williams.

I love game and film music. My favorite game music to listen to is Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries. LotR Music is pretty cool too.

Okay - I know who John Williams is, but what about the other 2 - Hans Zimmer & Danny Elfman. What movies have they done?
Boromir I think it's cool that's what you want to do. Have you conducted before and do you play any instruments?

Wow, I'm flattered that you care. Hans Zimmer most well known works are Gladiator and The Lion King, but he's made plenty others. Danny Elfman is a much more unique composer. He's well known for Batman, Nightmare Before Christmas, Spider-Man, and The Simpsons Theme. I play trumpet in my school band (I'm the principle player). I also play piano (I've had lessons for 2 years). I have conducted before a few times. I have conducted in band class a few times and I've conducted my own music in a performance once. I'm kinda well known in my band for being a composer and knowing so much about music.

WOW - that's a lot of stuff.
I've played French Horn and Flute in high school but I don't really remember much. My husband is the musical one - plays guitar, drums, sings.
I think you are well on your way to becoming a film composer! So glad you are the Film Master ;D

hey! a fellow trumpeteer! i play trumpet (1st chair usually) in my school's highest band. i personally think that music is immensely important to movies/games/other multimedia. i love the game halo, so i'll use that as an example. if you aren't being attacked, the music is calm. if an attack is about to happen, ominous music will play. if you are attacking, upbeat, uptempo music will play.
