Working with the Berlin - Symphony of a Great City movie score

While planning what to do with the movie score, which I briefly talked about in my earlier blog post. I found this great tool from the web called Cinemetrics. Which can evaluate the lengths of the individual shots in the film. This made the planning of the different moods much easier. I decided to use more percussive material for parts with quick edits and more ambient moods to the slower parts. Here's an image of a quick plan I made.

The parts are marked like this Red (Very Fast), Orange (Fast), Yellow (Medium), Green (Slow). I really love these movie nerds that come up with databases like these. Saved me hours of watching and taking notes, could dive faster into the actual music part and thus helping tons with my workflow. Thanks Cinemetrics!
