I thought the soundtrack was all the music on a movie used in, but not composed specifically for, the movie. However, I recently received Philip Sheppard’s score to the documentary, In The Shadow of the Moon. Right there on the front of the cd case, it says, "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack".
I checked my Braveheart score and it says the same thing. Now I’m confused!
Could someone clear this up for me? I have great interest in movie music and also compose a little music myself. I would really like to be in the know on this. Thank you!
Score usually means music written specifically for the film/play, and is usually instrumental
