Done as part of my coursework at DKIT this term. For my Music in Film class, I had to pick a film scene and rescore it with different music. Because I LOVE Apocalypto and this scene in particular, I picked that. The lack of music here was ideal for putting music to it and after listening to a few different soundtracks on my iPod while watching it, I landed on the Game of Thrones soundtrack by Ramin Djawadi. I used 3 different tracks as leitmotifs here; “The Assassin’s Dagger“ as Jaguar Paw’s fear-driven theme, “North of the Wall“ as the theme of the chase and urge to run and “Three Blasts“ as Zero Wolf’s rage driven theme.
Anyway, if you haven’t seen the film, you owe it to yourself to watch it. It’s fantastic. And buy the GoT soundtracks while you’re at it!
