Easily one of the most under-appreciated components of a feature film is its instrumental score. Responsible for setting the tone, the mood, or the feelings the filmmakers wish for the viewer to feel, a movie’s score is one of the most artistic elements of a feature—even in the most corporate big-budget films. It’s astounding just how much impact these scores have on the viewer and how little appreciation they receive in return.
