A scary and haunting score can help movies go the extra mile.
This post was written by Tangelene Bolton.
I knew UNSEEN would be a project where I could take on a new musical and sonic approach to scoring. When Yoko Okumura, our incredible director, asked if I would be interested in writing the music for her feature directorial debut, I was immediately down. She’s a bold director and a creative risk-taker with concepts and ideas that are always exciting to be a part of. I knew that this was something that I could run and have fun doing so.
I utilized both musical themes for different characters as well as manipulating sound to act as a bed for the anxiety we feel throughout the course of the film. One of our leads, Emily (Midori Francis), is running in the woods from her crazy ex-boyfriend Charlie (Michael Patrick Lane), so I wanted the music to feel derived from that environment.
