Due my hard drive dying over the easter period and the believe that I could work on and produce something of a much better standard than my work on ‘Aliens’. I have decided to score and sound design the ending of the 1997 film ‘Gattaca’ directed by Andrew Niccol and scored by Michael Nyman (a composer very vocal in minimalism within music.)
For those of you unaware of the nature of the film the tone of the ending is incredibly emotional and climatic. Due to the essay below I was aware of a few techniques and hit points that I was already going to use before beginning work on it. I was attracted to work on this particular scene for the atmosphere that it creates, it is a great example of incidental music. There are also a lot of subtle drop points for the sound design, which I have had to record myself. The theme of the music in the beginning is very much an ambient one as referred to in David Bordell’s essay, it shows the invisibility of film music. Until the middle section where I wanted to create and make the music very overtly a major part of the scene, the climatic power of music in film is very apparent here. I will have a demo available to view up in the next few days, but I was hoping to record with a cellist to create a more organic feel so you’ll have to wait.
