How to make music for films (part one)

1/ The first way to write music for films is global.

2/ You watch the movie from beginning to end.

3/ And then, without watching the picture, you write the music…

4/ …from the memory of the sensation you had watching it.

5/ You don’t write the music for a scene, you compose it to “tell” the story.

6/ Then scene by scene, you built the music with elements of the main theme.

7/ You can also use the same process on a scene by scene basis.

8/ You watch a scene, get away from it, write the music, and get back to it.

9/ This method takes longer but gives the best musical results.

10/ Next time we’ll see a faster method for tv low cost series.

Good luck!
