"I told Matt, right off the bat, 'We have to care about all of these characters.' One of the things that the earlier Apes films lacked was the idea of emotion. They were heavy on sci-fi and weirdness but emotion was not really explored. When I first saw this film, I realized there are no bad guys. There are characters who believe different things. Both sides are trying to convince the other that what they believe is right, and they have valid reasons for believing that. Matt has created something that is incredibly complex in all the right ways." And then I'll goof on it with pun cue titles! Yeah, that's the ticket! "I told Matt, right off the bat...." Just looked at this interview with Matt Reeves and Michael Giacchino. Finally something that sheds light on this subject. http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2aacmX/we_are_matt_reeves_and_michael_giacchino_and_were/ "[–]StevenPotts7 1 point 12 hours ago Hello Michael, I wanted to ask, in the movie Let Me In the song that played in the scene where Owen found the old photo of Abby and Thomas is called Let Me Out- the opposite of the films title. Was that to suggest what the photo implied was the opposite of the truth? Or was it simply called that because Owen was demanding to be let out of the apartment? permalink [–]MichaelGiacchinoDawn Of POTA 3 points 12 hours ago Here we go! You know what... [–]Matt_Reeves[S] 2 points 12 hours ago Because Michael doesn't take titles seriously. [–]MichaelGiacchinoDawn Of POTA 2 points 12 hours ago Because it was Paul Apelgrin's idea (the music editor). And this comes from a long tradition we have on the team, of who can come up with the most interesting puns, and still have the title be relevant to the scene.    Posted:   Jul 10, 2014 - 9:53 AM     By:   Mark Langdon   (Member) "There are characters who believe different things.

Don't care for the more noble music. Not sure what it is but I still have troubles with Giacchino's chord choices. I used to be a huge fan of his up to Lost but something in his compositional style changed and while I still like some Wof his current work (Let me in is pretty terrific) I'm mostly lukewarm on his stuff. It is available on Amazon's MP3 store for $8.99. Well... now 9.99, but it was a buck less when I got it the other day. Still cheaper than iTunes. A fine score. Fun track titles. Michael takes the music seriously, but not the track titles. Not a problem.

As usual, Giacchino shies away from sythns.    Posted:   Jul 13, 2014 - 4:15 PM     By:   Chris Avis   (Member) Saw it last night. The movie was good, but not as excellent as the hype would have you believe. It suffers for wanting to tackle heavy themes while still being a typical summer blockbuster and the ending in particular seems tacked on from a different movie to satisfy the action requirements. It reminds me in a lot of ways of The Dark Knight which suffers from similar flaws and which I also consider to be overrated. The score works very well in the picture and is mixed very prominently save for a few moments where it is obscured by sound effects. I never understood why critics were drawing parallels to Goldsmith's score based on a pre-listen of the score itself. But, in the movie, there's a few places where the complex rhythmic percussion or xylophone runs are very prominent in the mix and it does indeed remind me of some aspects of Goldsmith's original. I wouldn't be surprised to see Giacchino pick up an Oscar nomination given the critical praise for the film and score and the relatively weak year score-wise so far. Apparently this movie was originally slated to be a reimagning of the original POTA. I hope the next movie jumps straight to that and does an interesting reinterpretation of that movie, rather than the less interesting war film this instalment appears to set up.

As usual, Giacchino shies away from sythns. Shame. I'm sure I'll still enjoy DotPotA, but even in his Lost music (and I know that DotPotA is not Lost), he was able to incorporate subtle, ambient synths that added another dimension to the music in a very sophisticated and impressive manner without detracting from the primal, organic acoustic ensemble.    Posted:   Jul 13, 2014 - 6:12 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) I got through this once on Spotify. It has a nice general feel but didn't grab me thematically at the first listen. This is a percussion-heavy score as you would expect and has a lot of Giacchino style somber piano pieces that hit the right tone but sounded rather derivative.    Posted:   Jul 14, 2014 - 9:27 AM     By:   KeoNato   (Member) Any electronics in Giacchino's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes score?

I feel it's a mixed bag with Giacchino and synths. When he uses him for subtle ambiance it works quite well. However, anything more and it can be jarringly out of place. The scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where Harrison attacks Starfleet HQ (left off the CD but evident in the movie) is a perfect example.    Posted:   Jul 14, 2014 - 5:26 PM     By:   DeputyRiley   (Member) Any electronics in Giacchino's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes score?

I didn't notice any in the first Trek film he did (film or score release) or the newer film (haven't listened to it on CD).    Posted:   Jul 15, 2014 - 12:42 AM     By:   Jon Broxton   (Member) My review of DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, for anyone interested: http://moviemusicuk.us/2014/07/14/dawn-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-michael-giacchino/ Jon     General Discussion: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - Michael Giacchino    << < 11 12 13 14 15  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
