Sound and Music Score

The Sound and Music Score, or Soundtrack, is a hugely important part of a successful animation. The use of audio such as music, sound effects and vocal dialogue all play a big part in telling the story. Altering the type of sound used, particularly the choice of music or background ambience, has a big effect on the mood of an animation. The same animation with a light stringed instrument accompaniment will feel quite different if it is then shown with heavy horns and trumpets.
