DESCRIPTION

Mastery of cinematic music scoring, emotional audio architecture, and the integration of music with visual storytelling for AI-generated campaigns. This skill encodes the grammar of film music: leitmotifs, emotional underscoring, genre-specific instrumentation, tempo-to-emotion mapping, and the critical correlation between visual beats and musical moments. Essential for planning audio identity alongside visual output.
