Well, I mean, unless you
were planning on waiting
[PORTMAN] There's a change
of direction in the scene.
And that's often a prompt
[MAN #1] Well, they don't
care for 'em much
here in Columbus, either.
Is that gonna be problem?
[MAN #2] No sir.
I just came here to run.
[MAN #1] Well then,
for the next 28 months,
you're either in a classroom,
or you're on that track,
every hour, every day.
[ORCHESTRA MUSIC SWELLS]
[CHRISTOPHE BECK] As a composer,
when you're sitting
there watching a film,
it's not like watching
a play or real life.
There's camera
positions, there's cuts.
It's an incredibly
artificial medium in a way,
and it's really nothing
like real life.
We have to find clever ways
to introduce something familiar.
["CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF
[DEBNEY] A motif
is a group of notes
that might highlight
what a film score is.
"Close Encounters."
[SHIP PLAYS MOTIF]
[SINGS MOTIF]
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun
["CLOSE ENCOUNTERS" MUSIC PLAYS]
Beethoven was one the first
composers
to really take a theme or motif
and spin it out in a huge way.
[BEETHOVEN'S
"FIFTH SYMPHONY" PLAYS]
Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony,"
[MOTIF CONTINUES]
on that ya-ta-ta-ta rhythm.
Simple hooks, just
like a pop song.
But you're then casting
them in different lights.
SHIRE THEME PLAYS]
[HOWARD SHORE] By using motifs,
it helps you to understand
the relationships in the story.
- [SHIRE THEME CONTINUES]
- Dear Bilbo.
[SHORE] When you hear a certain
motif, you connect it.
[SHIRE THEME CONTINUES]
follow the story.
- ["LORD OF THE RINGS" FELLOWSHIP THEME]
- Nine companions.
[BECK] By the time you get
to the end of the film,
when you play that music
in its full glory,
it's already familiar
to the audience.
[FELLOWSHIP THEME CONTINUES]
We're kind of building things
up to that main course.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BELTRAMI] The director
is not a huge fan
of strictly orchestral elements,
so we're exploring.
In here, this is Buck.
He's working on a movie
now called "The Gunman"
that we're working on together.
We're a little bit
under the gun,
and that's nerve-racking.
One of the things
we were working at was
processing these kalimbas.
[PLAYS KALIMBA]
It's a simple
African instrument.
The next week we'll be
here quite a bit.
[LAUGHS] Buck's not.
There's a lot of work to do.
["THE GUNMAN" MUSIC PLAYS]
That's the kalimba you hear.
He's following a mystery
to find out what's happened.
a bit of intrigue.
