We have been set a short clip from Richard III to score. I very much enjoy the fact that Birger sets us these short clips to write for, it is great practice and also expands our library and gives us more for our show reel. I also love the fact that we share our scored clips as a group and discuss the process and concept behind each of our scores.
It is quite amazing how much I found that I can learn from my peers; there are sometimes ideas that they glean from the film that I would never have come up with. I get that "oh yeah!" feeling that makes me want to rush off and play with new ideas. I hope that my classmates feel similarly when they hear my work!
This particular clip is quite challenging to write for. It is clearly in need of a "sad" score but it is difficult to decide when to bring in the theme. The decision of when to start the music, when to start a theme, when to end a theme is always utterly subjective and poses problems for the composer. I have been watching a few "sad" clips from various films to get an idea of what I am going to do
