The BFG - Complete Score Breakdown

Please do not post this anywhere without my permission! You may link to it, however. Thanks!

 

Here it is:

(below you can find the spreadsheet directly imbedded into this post)

 

The cue titles are either taken from the OST or made up by me (or, in one instance, made up by Chewy Bomber). 

 

There may be a lot of mistakes. There are a lot of very difficult "judgement calls" and others may interpret some things differently. I not only welcome but encourage feedback! If you don't like a cue title, if you think I just messed up somewhere, if you think I split one cue into two, let me know!

 

Anyway, here goes!

Fantastic work, Will! Thank you so much for willingly sharing the fruits of your labor with us. 

[King Mark 3,681]

well done

 

so there's about 40 minutes of unreleased music

[Incanus 5,795]

Excellent! Thank you for this!

[Jay 39,241]

Nice work! 

[Will 2,230]

Oh, I just added one thing I forgot earlier: Please don't post this anywhere without my permission.

 

And, of course, the cue titles are all either taken from the OST or made up by me (and one was from @ChewyBomber).

I have no particular fondness for The BFG but this breakdown is nevertheless wonderful to have! It will be a great resource for when the score grows on me.

I definitely want to buy it, if nothing else just to have another quality childrens movie for my own kids.  But I ain't buyin' for $23.  The movie flopped at the box office which means it'll be 10 bucks on Amazon by next Summer.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,382]

It made 177 million from a 140 million budget! 

 

A smash hit!

[Chewy 2,496]

Good Job Will! Will you do a complete edit?

I hope to do one! It's an incredibly daunting task, though, given that I've never done one before and that my audio editing skills are rudimentary. 

 

We'll see what I feel like when/if the FYC is released. Obviously I can't start till then anyway.
