A movie soundtrack has to be chosen very carefully
to make sure it fits in with a particular scene and the all round idea of the
movie, for example a horror film would probably not contain a track from a
disney film because it would not fit the mood of the film. The music can as well set a certain environment like using bagpipes if the film is set in the Highlands or a xylophone perhaps for a jungle setting.
As well, 70% of what you hear in a movie is added afterwards so things like sound effects are important as well to bring objects to life and make them as realistic as possible. A 'Foley Stage' is sometimes used to create human like sounds (such as footsteps), this will make sure that every movement is also as realistic as possible.
Another thing that could be added to a soundtrack is diegetic (things the character can hear) and non-diegetic (things the character cannot hear) sound. Below is a video showing examples of when diegetic and non dietetic sound is used in different films.
