You're collaborating
with people.
I want them to feel
like a filmmaker like them
has come into the process.
I'm the one that specializes in
this one thing that they're
uncomfortable with.
You're trying to come
up with music
that supports the scene and complements
it in an unobtrusive way.
You spend as much
time as you can
immersing yourself
in the backstory.
As a film composer,
you're part
of the storytelling team.
[MAN] Do you want to spin
forward to the next cue, Garry?
- [MARSHALL] Yeah.
- [DEBNEY] This one sort of
ends when she comes
around the corner, right?
I try to get a sense
of what their insecurities are.
The more time you
spend with them,
the more you get those answers.
Most directors don't know
how to convert emotions
into musical into music.
So the composer has to kind
of act almost like a therapist
and go through all this mishmash
of what the director's saying
and get the essence of it.
What if we kind of tail
right into that?
- [WOMAN] Yeah, right, you
don't need to go -right?
- [MAN] Don't score him?
- Maybe don't score
Just put a nice
little transition, Garry,
that kind of just spills over.
- And then he comes up.
- [MARSHALL] Yeah.
Something like that maybe? Yeah.
We got the We got
the gist of it.
[HANS ZIMMER] Sort of in that first
conversation with the director
I have glimpses
of what it could be.
Every project starts
roughly the same way.
Somebody comes into the room
and says, "I've got this idea."
"It'll be fun to do. It'll be
a fun adventure," etc.
And they tell you the idea and you
get drawn in and you get excited.
And you're flattered that they're
even considering you.
"Whoa, me," you know. "I
get to go on this ride."
And then they leave the room and then
you have a moment of reflection.
You go, "I have no
idea how to do this."
Oh, my god."
And then after a while you think
should you be phoning
them and saying,
you know, "Hey, I think you
better phone John Williams."
I have no idea how to do this."
You know, the blank page
Plus, I have no idea
So there's always the fear
that somebody's going to switch off the tap.
[PIANO PLAYING]
[RACHEL PORTMAN] This
is a film called "Race."
I've been working on it for a week,
so I'm just beginning.
I'm just sort of getting
into my process with it.
Where I'm thinking it should start is
is just coming up.
And I'm going to start with it
coming in really, really quietly.
No.
- [MAN IN FILM #2] Well, why not?
- [QUIET PIANO MUSIC]
[MAN #1] You want
to win a gold medal?
- [MAN #2] Sure.
- [MAN #1] You want to do it in Berlin?
[QUIET PIANO MUSIC]
