studiomprd Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 need to brushup on the current terminology for movie music descriptions... i.e. score, source, etc. what do we call music that only the audience hears vs. what do we call music if the characters in the picture can hear it ??

studiomprd Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 thanks for the links... I learned to call non-Diegetic music "score music" even if it was not composed specifically for the movie. I learned to call the Diegitic music "source music" even if it was composed specifically for the movie, as long as it was music that could be heard withing the story (like a radio playing, nightclub band, etc.) I'm now hearing that only music composed specifically for a project should be called "score", and even that doesn't seem to apply to Diegetic music composed specifically for the show! If the music was not specifically composed for the project as background, non-diegetic music, it is called, I'm being told, "source music" I'm just trying to find out the proper usages of the terms: "source music" and "score" music. anyone else that can add clarification, please...??
