Film Soundtrack

Film soundtrack music, or that delightful ensemble of orchestral splendor, began to take shape in the early 20th century as cinema realised that silence wasn't quite riveting enough for audiences settling down with a bucket of popcorn. Characterised by sweeping melodies and emotive compositions, it often sounds like someone is trying to move you to tears whilst also reminding you that there's a villain lurking in the shadows. It has the cultural impact of turning mundane moments into grand epics; after all, who hasn't found themselves silently narrating their life whilst imagining a stirring score in the background?
