THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN SOUND
EFFECTS AND SCORE
NOTES
WHAT IS SCORE MUSIC?
Score music is the music that plays in the
background of a film or during certain scenes
in the film. The score music can be music
that has been already made or it can be
written specifically.
WHAT ARE SOUND EFFECTS?
Sound effects are sounds that are used in
films to enhance or create a sound. An
example of a sound effect would be
footsteps coming down a stairs. Sound
effects can be added into films during
editing.
 Sound effects are different from score notes
as score notes are pieces of music, where as
sound effects are short sounds. However,
both are added to films to emphasise
different things at certain points in the films.
