Film score composers are similar to sound editors but deal with a different aspect of sound. Their job is to decide what kind of soundtracks should be used throughout each film depending on what fits best for example using tense soundtracks for a thriller film or jolly comedic soundtracks for some kind of comedy film. The kind of soundtracks that they could compose could just be simple pop tracks or classical tracks.
