The Lumière brothers had already experimented with making the people on the screen speak when they first made their films in Paris in 1895, and later introduced a live soundtrack to mask the noise of a live projector, and then a giant theatre organ.

In 1933, Max Steiner's "King Kong" became a milestone in the film score - the orchestra was added to the soundtrack. ( The soundtracks of " King Kong " and "Gone with the Wind" were ranked among "AFI's 100 Best Film Scores". He is known as the father of American cinema. )

"Desire Train" was the first film to include jazz in the soundtrack.

"Flying House" uses music to guide the audience's sight activities

"007 series" John Barry has the experience of working in the band.

John Williams - Representative works: Star Wars, Superman, ET (magnificent, expansive music, sadness at the end, turning to the horn and glory: mission accomplished! Sincere vows between children!)

Great White Shark - Large Symphony with Two Tone Guidance

Hans Dimmer - Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Inception (Master the strings as guitars! Give the visual experience a sense of rhythm!)
