Wow! I got shocked...

 

Full music score:

 

It's more like collage of Sound Effects not score.

 

I totally agree its a collage using a lot of sound effects.....
But how do you define "music score"? Do you expect a traditional classical music score or can you accept other ways of organizing your music?
Basically, a music score is just some instruction in how the music should be played and in what order etc and it can be done in many different ways.

Yes!

No!

More than that...

Not in any way.

 

Examples:

 

Interesting view but ok.

You forgot the little important word "etc" in the end of my sentense

 

They are not score. They just show some unnatural ways of using instruments to only produce FX.

FX Sounds can not take the position of real scores. Never ever... Everyone says the opposite is just deceiving himself and also others.

 

You obviously have a very strict and old-fashioned view on this subject - that's ok.

A music score is just a primitive attempt to explain to the musicians what to play and how to play it.

I have been used to reading traditional classical music scores for many years but have also been exposed to read alternative interpretations of what a music score could look like - it's not that hard if you bother to get into it - and it´s basically the exact same as a traditional classic music score.

Can YOU read a music score at all or do you just have a game going on?

 

I'll have a look at what the trade press has to say about it:

What is a Score?

The word ‘score’ is used in a lot of different ways in music. In the broadest sense, it can mean any kind of sheet music – these terms are sometimes used interchangeably. More narrowly, it can describe the ‘full score,’ or a single musical document that contains all the different parts for an orchestral performance. A score is usually used for a more formal, coordinated piece, like a classical sonata or a big-band jazz tune. If you’re working in a more informal style like blues or rock and roll, you probably won’t see the music written down in a score.

‘Score’ also describes the cinematic soundtrack of a movie – the background music that plays underneath all the action. Once the movie has been edited, composers ‘score’ it by composing music that will complement the plot and events on screen, as well as punctuating the rhythms and providing an added layer of emotional expression. These film scores are mostly orchestral, so they can be written in a full score.

In this article, we’ll focus on the full score. These documents are mainly used by conductors and band leaders, since they’re the ones that need to be able to look at all the different parts simultaneously. There are also individual scores that you can buy for each instrument – vocal scores for singers, cello scores for cellists, and so on. For the most part, they follow the same rules as a full score, but they only show information for a single instrument rather than covering the whole orchestra. There are also ‘miniature scores’ available from some music publishers, which print the music in small, portable booklets (these usually contain only the score for a single part – otherwise they’d have to print way too small!)

We’ll also be focused on how scores are used in Western music. But of course Western culture isn’t the only one that has developed a system for writing down music. Indian, Chinese, and lots of other civilizations have their own systems – we just usually don’t use the word ‘score’ to describe them.

Strange to see how you add to "off topic comments" to this thread well knowing you hate people doing the same in your threads.

NB: Can you read a music score at all or are you just trying to make some interests of yourself?

This piece of art is officially called Motion Picture Soundtrack.

So what's the purpose of a soundtrack? IMHO, it's to determine or emphasize the emotional expression of the motion picture. Simple as that.

Should it be done in a specific way? Simple answer, no. Whatever works, works.

Should it be notated in a specific way? Again, no. How will you even notate some of the effects (which are still played by intruments)? The way a composer writes down a score is completely up to him. You can even step in colour and use your footprints.

Should instruments be played in a natural way? I beg your pardon? There's a common way but instruments themselves are artificial because they're man-made (at least I've never come across a violin bush or a cello tree). They're simply tools and everyone can use a tool in every way he wants. You have no hammer but need one? Use a wrench or the helve of a screwdriver. Been there, done that, works.
