Sound for film / Original score
Music written to the cut.
Themes and cues composed against picture. Melody when the scene asks for it, and silence when the scene is already doing the work.
How a score moves
- A spotting pass on the cut: where music enters, holds, or gets out of the way.
- Themes for characters, places, and the turn of the story, sketched before the long cues.
- Cues built to the locked picture, not a library track dropped on the timeline.
- Revisions against notes from the director and the editor, played back in the room.
- Stems delivered so the mix can still breathe around dialogue.
