Zitat des Tages von Marco Beltrami:
I am inspired just by the way a scene can be interpreted by the actors. It can make a huge difference on the type of music that you write. It's best for me if I don't work at all on a project until the movie is shot and I have some sort of edit in front of me.
I usually start from the most general to the more specific. I'll get an emotional overview for the film as a whole, trying to pinpoint what the musical identity is and come up with thematic ideas - any ideas that identify as succinctly as possible what the film is.
One of the major aspects of film composing is that it's not so much a musical thing as it is communicating your ideas with the director, who often does not come from a musical background.
To me, music is music, and it's not limited by the medium; it just encompasses everything.
I don't really have a preferred genre. It's more up to the individual project itself and if I feel compelled by it.
If it's a real bad score, then it can ruin a movie for me, or, at least, it will draw a lot of my attention to the score.
'The Homesman' is a really interesting movie that Tommy Lee Jones directed.
I had come from an orchestral background, but I didn't really have any orchestral pieces for film.
'Snowpiercer' is a little bit more experimental, I think, and crafted for a slightly different audience. 'The Giver' is more about teen angst.
