A film score is a broad term referring to the music in a film which is generally categorically separated from songs used within a film. The term "film score" is frequently synonymous with "film soundtrack", though a soundtrack may also include the songs used in the film while the score does not. A score is sometimes written specifically to accompany a film, but may also be compiled from previously written musical compositions.
Some well-known original film scores include “Titanic” by James Horner, “Harry Potter” series, “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars” series by John Williams, and “Lord of the Rings” trilogy by Howard Shore.
