Score

Score - film score is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film'ssoundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question. Scores are written by one or more composers, under the guidance of, or in collaboration with the film's director and/or producer, and are then usually performed by an ensemble of musicians – most often comprising an orchestra or band, instrumental soloists, and choir or vocalists – and recorded by a sound engineer.


In this clip, at 0:23, score is used to dramatically cue the dead body. This is effective as the volume of the sound increases as the body is shown and it shocks the audience.
