My favourite movie score is fron The Man from U.N.C.LE (2015 , directed by Guy Ritchie) because it uses unconventional instruments , such as guitars – the score was composed by Daniel Pemberton . There are obvoius paralells between this score and the score for James Bond( it is a spy movie set in the 60s after all) but I like this score because it is completly distinct from it and it higtens the impact of the action scenes and makes them seem thrilling and I really liked how the score embodied the time period that the film was set in (the 1960’s) and how it seemed to be authentic to the time period as there is no music included in the film that wouldn’t have been played in the 60’s.
The score is unique and althogh it was ment to reference movies in the 1960’s that had similar scores , it is very distinct nowadays , as that type of music is not as common in films anymore , so the expectations of the younger audience members would be challanged ,that is what this score did for me. Additionally , as the score is so unusualĀ it allowed me to actually listen to it and appriciate it because I was so used to hearing orchestral music in film , I didn’t really pay that much attention to it and this score is so different that it made me pay attention to the music.
