Title: Film Music Practice
Post by: jjmusicnotes on July 25, 2009, 12:42:19 am
Alright, so, I've done a few projects for computer games, and it's kinda trickled me into film a little bit. I thought I would start exploring the genre of film composition, and decided to start off with a movie very dear to me - Sleepy Hollow.

I started off by doing a main title theme, and a brief introduction. When I first wrote this, I was stuck on the action-y part with the carriage (which is why it's stopped there,) but I've got ideas now, so hopefully I'll be able to continue and finish the 6 minute clip I have.

It was also my very first attempt at mastering, so if anyone has any experience in this field, all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Please let me know what you think!

**note**

The crackling and popping is from the video somehow, I've checked my audio over, and it's definitely not coming from the audio.

It seems like a lot of "action" is happening before minute 1:50 but the music is still very relaxed, I think a lot more tension is needed to really underscore the emotions in this beginning sequence

That's a great thought, I'll definitely see if i can work on that - thanks for watching!
