Research:Soundtrack - Skyfall


The sound and feel of this music is very intense and cinematic. The tension that it builds over the course of the track has a nice feel to it. It edges towards minor increases and then drops back again, and you can feel that something big is going on in the film. It is obviously modified to the visuals, and so the soundtrack does not become a piece on its own. We do not want music that overpowers and outshines the visuals, but we want music that is in the background and supports the action. On the other hand, music is a powerful tool in increasing the intensity of a scene, and we can't miss out on this trick. James Bond motif obviously shines through at 2:09, making it obvious that James Bond is on screen and he is about to do something that only James Bond would do. We are planning to James Richardson to make the soundtrack have its own motifs for the various characters, and the score should be building upon this. What is also really nice about this soundtrack is the variety of instruments and the full orchestra.
