Soundtrack composition is the process of creating music specifically for films, video games, or other media. This music enhances the emotional experience of the audience, helping to convey the story and mood. Composers often work closely with directors to ensure that the music aligns with the visual elements and narrative. The composition typically involves various instruments and styles, depending on the project's needs. Composers may use orchestras, electronic sounds, or a combination of both. Famous composers like John Williams and Hans Zimmer have created iconic soundtracks that have become integral to the films they accompany.
