"Moments Fleeting"Composed May 2021Description
Music composed, mixed and mastered by: Jeffrey Daijiro Taylor Film Directed by: Justin Li The film Moments Fleeting is about two young strangers who decide to break from their everyday routine to spend the night walking around the beautiful city of Hong Kong. While the premise may seem simple, the heart of the film is in the character’s interactions, the shots of them in the city and the music that blends it all together. On a musical level, a great deal of intention was placed on the score’s symbolism. This may be heard in the use of specific instruments, melodic ideas and textures capturing the aura of specific characters, locations and moments. While the symbolic ideas start out simple, they evolve as the film meshes them together. With every second of the film being scored, this allows the score to not just serve as ambiance, but to provide a complete second telling of the story playing out on screen. Film's Notable Awards: (DGA) Director's Guild of America Student Awards Winner |
