Composición musical para el corto animado “SINTEL” basándose en los recursos compositivos de Hans Zimmer.

Abstract

This report presents the experience of rendering the Soundtrack of a Short Film using Hans Zimmer’s fusion of composing resources. This work is intended to be available for the community of local and foreign composers who make a living in film scoring. Furthermore and not less important, this product is a contribution for the Program of Music at the Faculty of Arts and Humanity of the Universidad Catolica Santiago of Guayaquil. To accomplish the aforementioned purposes, it was necessary to carry out a review of the composing resources that Hans Zimmer uses to produce his music themes in movies, and how they can be used to develop a new product. This study was developed within the period “Semester B-2018” and its approach is mainly qualitative. The data collection instruments and tools include a Hans Zimmer’s Masterclass video, two music theme transcriptions, an audio and movie review from the movie “Gladiator”, which led to the final production of the music theme for the short film “SINTEL”.
