As
a fan of film scores, I was really looking forward to watching this documentary
following the evolution of orchestral score music. Last night, I put my good
headphones on and sat down for a 90-minute trip through film history. The
documentary featured interviews – both current and archive footage – of a wide
range of composers, among them favourites like Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat and
Steve Jablonski... and many, many more, divulging their secrets. It was interesting to put faces to most
of the names, and seeing the passion and dedication of these great composers at work
was inspiring. The film also illustrated how music production has changed over
the course of the previous century, and how yet many elements have stayed the same:
Orchestras and instruments are still needed - even though electronic production
is getting more and more advanced - and some good old-fashioned creativity when
discovering new sounds remains a basic requirement.
All in all,
the documentary provided an interesting glimpse into the world of modern music
production, through the lens of score music. It might not engage a wider
audience, but I found it quite riveting. 3/5
