Behind The Scenes: Writing My First Musical Score
from Show Don't Tell: Micro-Budget Filmmaking · host Noam Kroll
In this solo episode I break down the process of writing a musical score for the first time on my upcoming short film Crow.Topics covered include:Why the advice to "specialize in one area" was never right for meEditing the entire rough cut with zero music in 10 to 20 second chunksLocking in sound design before any temp score so music never becomes a crutchScoring all five cues out of order, starting with the final cue and working backwardsWhere the process stands now: rough guitar demos down, next up is re-recordingMuch more!Big thanks to Soundstripe for executive producing the film and sponsoring this episode.Check out their new Soundstripe LIVE tool at soundstripe.com/noamSign up for my newsletter for exclusive filmmaking insight each Sunday
