Film Music Cliches ($37):Ostinatos help you compose faster, and they’re also a great source of inspiration and learning. But while ostinatos teach you a specific part of cinematic music (mainly string ostinatos), Film Music Clichés helps you master the rest. This guide gives you a clear game plan to write in a wide range of Hollywood styles—action, horror, romance, and more. We've broken down each style step by step so you can follow it easily. It also includes 6 transcribed, reduced, and analyzed scores from some of the top film composers: I, Robot (Marco Beltrami), The Mummy Returns (Alan Silvestri), The Omen (Marco Beltrami), Hellboy II (Danny Elfman), Chicken Run (John Powell), and X-Men (John Powell). These are the same scores we used to create the Composing Recipes PDF. So if you want to go deeper and learn straight from the source—this is for you.
