The Cinematic / Score category is one of the most important categories for music supervisors because it directly serves the needs of film, TV, advertising, and trailers.

Hybrid: orchestral + electronic elements
Minimal / Ambient: piano, synth pads, textures, sound design
Percussion-driven: dramatic impact for action or trailer cues
