Popular Post Jay 42,358 Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Came across this and thought it was pretty cool! Has anybody ever seen anything similar for other scores? https://www.twitter.com/GoSoundtracks/status/905358343132258304 UPDATE: These are by Santiago Barx and available to purchase at https://www.santiagobarx.com/scoremaps/ ragoz350, Jurassic Shark, Not Mr. Big and 11 others 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BachSkywalker 106 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Wow, this is really cool to see it laid out like this. I'd love to see more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 11,343 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Ha! There was a time I was thinking of making an "intensity graph" or two for some scores to show structure, but not nearly to this level of detail, just in arbitrary acts. Interesting choice for doing a full film-length one, shows off well how sparsely spotted it is in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 9,308 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Never seen it. Would have been useful, if I'd had ever done a scholarly work on the score. It was the one thing I absolutely hated while writing my thesis, but that needed to be done -- sitting down and identifying and time-coding the scores and themes of the scores featured in my analysis chapters (E.T., BLADE RUNNER and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS). I know it's something that interests the majority here, but I couldn't be less interested. I wanted to get to the proper interpretation as quickly as possible, what the score did in the respective scenes, the musico-visual symbolism, stuff like that. That interested me. if I'd had an assistant, I would have told him or her to do a chart like the one posted here. Jim Ware 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Groovygoth666 1,143 Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 That's so cool! Never saw something like that before, interesting to see the score laid out this way. Managed to find two others, Back To The Future - and Atlantis - All three came from this site, with Star Wars coming soon Edmilson, Bayesian, Gabriel Bezerra and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-8 4,958 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 What does the y-axis denote? Ah, found it: "The curve represents the energy level of the music in a scale from 1-5 at every minute. Red curves represent orchestral underscores, and green ones, source songs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 42,358 Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 I guess either the volume of the music or like, the complexity of it? Not sure. He also doesn't state anywhere that he uses green for source music that isn't part of the score BB-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oierem 200 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Not only it is a useful way to see which parts of the film are not scored, but it's also interesting to see the structure of the movie. The action with the dinosaurs doesn't start until the middle of the film! Jay and Not Mr. Big 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allow visualizing the placement of the music and main leitmotifs all along the movie. The curve represents the energy level of the music in a scale from 1-5 at every minute.

WampaRat 1,769 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I believe the James Horner film music site has done some similar maps with a few of his scores. Legends of the Fall and Glory I want say got that treatment. Im sure there are others too: https://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/legends-of-the-fall-expanded-edition-our-exclusive-review/ Jay and Edmilson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never noticed the minor loop/dial-outs in the two opening cues! I think Indie In Pursuit actually was edited in the film, though; the brass pause on the close-up on Harrison on the horse was truncated. Also, since you're including the stock Arabian music, perhaps you could also include the Arabic Digging/Dock songs, which I think lairdo said were recorded by extras during filming? The former would be between Don't Touch That and Discovering The Script and appear again just as Reunion In The Tent ends. The latter would appear between Indie's Feats and En Bateau.
