Any time Tony Zhou puts out a new video essay, it’s worth watching. His latest videos look at how blockbuster films are scored and why the current trend in Hollywood has created a lot of surprisingly forgettable movie music.
If there’s a single takeaway from these videos, I’d say it’s this: don’t be afraid to experiment with your film’s score. You may have very specific music in mind when you start a project, but try not to get so wrapped up in that music that you ignore other choices. The music you choose can completely transform your project – play around with different options and take some risks.
