Film music concerts

Types of film music concert

• Concert-only performance - a concert program might include popular themes from different film soundtracks, or a film's entire score
• Live to picture - the film's entire musical score is performed alongside a screening of the film. For films with an original soundtrack the music track is suppressed and performed live, preserving the original spoken audio track and any sound effects. The soundtrack is typically the same as the one originally used in the film but sometimes an alternative score is created for the event. Silent films may be accompanied by original source music, newly created music or music improvised by the musician.
• Film clips concert - a variant of live to picture concerts, where a selection of film clips are shown, accompanied by the music.
