Composing & Music Scores

Composing & Music Scores

Use original music to support story and emotion.

The role

Screen composers translate dramatic intention into musical ideas while respecting dialogue, pace and tone. We cover spotting, themes, collaboration, mock-ups, recording and responsible music licensing.

Core skills

  • Spotting sessions and cue planning
  • Themes, motifs and dramatic shape
  • Digital composition and live recording
  • Music rights, stems and delivery
