In this video, we will be covering musical terms, sound design, and writing techniques that composers utilise in order to create a film score, and how Oscar-winning composers Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, in particular, went about creating the music for David Fincher’s movies of the past decade. These include The Social Network, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and Gone Girl. This video features mini tutorials for experienced musicians and producers, music theory for the passionate listener, and cinematic analysis for the film buff.

Thanks for taking the time to watch. We hope you have been able to learn something from this.
