So we have been given an assignment in our Scoring for Film module to create 2 contrasting soundtracks for the same 1 minute clip. We had the choice of 3 films and I chose to use the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds, primarily because I wanted an excuse to use my theremin.
The soundtracks will contrast in a number of ways but my primary focus is on the size of the arrangement. By juxtaposing in this way I lay the groundwork for a variety of other variations which lend themselves to one side of the other. For instance, traditional orchestral instrumentation lends itself more easily to a larger soundtrack than subtle granulations and sound effects.
The minimal soundtrack comes more naturally to me so I did this one first. Enjoy.
