Many directors prefer the actor’s performance to land the emotional moment first, with the music entering just after to support the impact. But there are also situations where the score needs to guide the scene by arriving slightly earlier. Understanding when to lead and when to step back is an essential storytelling skill for composers working with film, animation, and other visual media.
