Pre-production

Was it harder to compose the score before the recording took place? It was a bit of a problem because I had no idea what the actors sounded like. I hadn't even seen a script, so I was purely going off my raw emotions of what I felt the whole thing should be about.

I only had a tiny tiny written brief and it did bring it sharply into focus when I did get the script and the recording of the actors, so that was good. You can argue it two ways. Maybe it made me more fluid because I was able to not be restricted, then again I maybe wasted time doing things which weren't appropriate. I don't know.
