How to score action scenes | Film Scoring For Beginners E05 – Film Music

Welcome to Film Scoring For Beginners episode 5. In this episode we look at how to score action scenes in a film. Todays film score is from the short film, Bag of bones. A film I scored a few years back.

This action film score consists of two parts. A suspenseful part leading into the actual action cue. In this film scoring for beginners video we talk about the composing process behind action music. How do we find a suitable tempo? What instruments and sounds to use for action music?
Furthermore, we talk about what kind of chords and notes one can use to build suspense and action. How do we drive the scene forward? How to build momentum in the music?

Obviously, there are million ways to score an action scene, I’m not an expert, but this is one possible way of approaching an action scene.
