The music
- Step 1 - Complete the film scoring course
- Before you can do the scoring for the animatic, you need to complete the course on film scoring for filmmakers.
- Steps 2 - Create the pieces of music
- Since you are a filmmaker and not a film composer, we will create the music for our movie using the same techniques you learn in the film scoring course. For this, you only need to create moods. That is all. You don't need to create a musical masterpiece. Keep it simple.
- Study the spotting session
- To the right is the spotting session. You can do more if you want but this is the basics. The only great challenge is the opening shots which can be done in a variety of different ways. See below.

Spotting Session
- Here is the necessary music for this movie.
Seduced by the Dark Side!
An very old and wise person and a young person (about 12 years old) are outside a movie theater. They have just seen the movie, Star Wars and are going home. They now stand in front of the theater, looking at the poster of the movie on the wall outside the theater.
1. Opening Music see below
The younger person says, "That was a great movie... but I don't understand one thing." The older person says, "Hum, what's that?". The younger person says, "I don't understand how anyone can be 'seduced by the dark side'".
The elderly person thinks for a while...
2. Thinking music
and then answers, "What computer do you use at home?"
The young person immediately responds eagerly, "A Macintosh."
3. The sound of joy
Then the elderly person slowly says, "But what computer does your father use at work?"
The young person thinks for a while...
4. Thinking music 2
and then smiles in amazement, exclaiming loudly, "Seduced by the Dark Side!!!"
