James's Feedback/Mock-Up

James seemed to like the feeling of the music on all four of the clips I sent back to him. This was great news however made narrowing down which temp track to work on a harder task. I feel this was maybe my fault as three out of the four tracks I used were written by Thomas Newman and therefore had similar characteristics. However between myself and James we chose to use "Temp Track 4" which was Newman's piece discussed in the earlier posts of this blog "Walkaway".

Focusing on "Temp Track 4" I created two "mock up" pieces of music using apples GarageBand. Ther term "mock-up" refers to the creation of music using synthesised instruments so that a director and/or producer can get some idea of how the music is going to sound.
 I found this process fairly difficult, composing music for a 10 second clip proved difficult and I still feel like my score was below standards as I am still relatively uninformed on the actual process of creating film score.

Below are the two mock up videos I created.
