Soundtrack composition is the art of creating music specifically for films, video games, and other media. Composers like John Williams and Hans Zimmer craft scores that enhance the emotional impact of visual storytelling, using a variety of instruments and styles to evoke specific feelings and atmospheres. In addition to traditional orchestral scores, modern soundtrack composition often incorporates electronic elements and diverse genres. This evolution allows composers to experiment and create unique soundscapes that resonate with audiences, making the music an integral part of the overall experience in works like Inception and The Legend of Zelda.
