Score & Underscore for Brand Films
Original score composed to picture and timed to your edit — music that carries the film rather than sitting behind it.
Library music fits a film approximately. A score is written to the cut — hitting the moments that matter, breathing where the picture breathes, and carrying the emotional turn the edit is asking for.
Composed to picture
We work from your locked or near-locked edit, spotting the film with you, then compose to those cues. When the edit changes, the music is adjusted rather than re-licensed.
Delivery
- Original score written to your picture
- Underscore beds for dialogue-heavy sections
- Full stems for mix flexibility
- Cutdown versions for social and broadcast lengths
- Full buyout across media and territories
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a locked edit?
A locked edit is ideal, but we regularly begin at near-lock and adapt as the cut settles.
What is underscore?
Music written to sit beneath dialogue and narration, supporting emotion without competing for attention or intelligibility.
Is the score bought out?
Yes. Brand film scores are delivered as a full buyout across all media and territories unless agreed otherwise.
Do you deliver stems?
Yes. Full stems are delivered so your mix can rebalance music against dialogue and effects.
