MAJOR PROJECT: Composer's Credit Track

I have been working with the Composer who has written and produced the credit track for the film. After sending him the rough cut, I sent him the exact timings for prominent parts of the track. Although it will be the credit track primarily, we wanted it to start during Scene 12 when Frank and the balaclava man are caught in the warehouse stealing the apples. The composer asked me for specific details regarding the style, tempo and intensity of the music we wanted. I said that the first reveal where the warehouse door is lifted up should start with some subtle drumming which should build up to the reveal of Frank in the warehouse. However, the final track shouldn't kick in until the credits actually start. I also sent the composer a few extracts of the instrumental sounds we had in mind and the temporary track which was quite similar to what we had in mind. The track that I have uploaded below is the second version of the track. The only tweak he made, was some added bass towards the end of the track. I was very impressed with the track that he's written, which he said he'd really enjoyed working on. I think that it is similar to the temp track but has it's own unique signature which is perfect for the comedic tone of the film. I also think that the timings are all in the right place for the reveals in the ending which is just what we were looking for.

Overall, I am very pleased that I pushed to have a composer to write the credit track for us. Josh and Ellen were very apprehensive as they didn't want to put any more money into the budget and felt like the temporary track was suitable enough. However, upon hearing the track that the composer made, Josh agreed that it gave the end of the film and the credit sequence a lift and was the perfect fit. I'm so glad that it paid off and that this is something that I pursued to have in the film.
