Film Scoring For Beginners E02 - From Motif to Theme

In todays episode of Film Scoring for beginners we talk about how to develop a theme from a motif. We break down the melody from a track I composed called "Ichthys" (greek word for fish). Furthermore, we talk about harmonization and how to develop a small motif to a full melodic theme.

I hope this is helpful to aspiring composers who want to work in film, games and media composition.

Let me know if you have any questions.
