* *=A0 Set metronome at 130-150
• *=A0 Start with percussion ostinato using 16th<=sup> notes.
* *=A0 Use high, low and medium percussion pitches, bu= avoid too many lows, as they can conflict with
sound effects in the film,=like explosions
• *=A0 4/4 rhythm, but occasionally throw in odd meter=measures
• *=A0 Use lots of offbeat accents
• *=A0 Mimic rhythm with a string ostinato, starting w=th violas playing 16th notes
• *=A0 Use minor keys or ambiguous keys which avoid th=rds
• *=A0 Layer in slower moving themes in horns and stri=gs
• *=A0 Use brass in melody or chords. Rising fifths wo=k well too.
• *=A0 Use dissonant harmonies, but nothing complicate=. E.g., use tritones
• *=ACI Use note clusters (close harmonies)</=>
* *=A0 No woodwinds
* *=A0 Insert a break where everything but drums drop =ut. The drums never stop.
