**behind the scenes – rescoring *mission: impossible* (1996)** | João Moreira

I spent today working on a new rescore of a scene from Mission: Impossible (1996). The cue isn't quite finished yet, but I thought it would be fun to share a little behind-the-scenes look at the process. In this video, I walk through some of the creative decisions involved in scoring to picture, including: • Finding and creating hit points • Building thematic ideas and variations • Orchestration choices • Synchronizing the music with the action and pacing on screen A quick apology in advance: I accidentally left a gate on my microphone while recording the commentary, so the audio cuts in and out a little in places. I'll definitely make sure that doesn't happen next time! I always enjoy seeing how other composers approach score-to-picture, so I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or even how you tackle similar scenes.
