The Great Book Chase

For a movie contest sponsored by the Eden Prairie Library, my brother has been working on a movie. The only requirements for the movie (I believe) are that the library must be visibly shown and audibly mentioned. He's been spending a lot of time on it for special effects and other editing. Because he wanted to make it more epic, he asked me to write music for its soundtrack.

The Movie

Summary: "An epic struggle between friends to gain control of the book they both desire to read before the other." YouTube

Soundtrack

The following is each song in the movie along with a brief synopsis of what is happening in each scene.

Millenium Films Theme

This is the music which plays as the "Millenium Films" logo comes in, for this film masquerading as a 20th Century Fox logo (thus the style of the music, a fanfare). The spelling of 'Millenium' I'm told is intentional and has nothing to do with a 'millennium.'

Main Theme

The main theme of this movie, due to the nature of the presence of lightsabers and other Star Wars paraphernalia, is Star Wars-esque. Note the ABA form as well as shifting into strings from the trumpet fanfare.

Chase

Although a bit slow for a chase, it makes sense because it occurs within the confines of a library as the main characters are trying to get to a book before the other.

Nightmare

One character is explaining why he has a chip on his shoulder and calls the other to remember a previous time which was horrible for him.

Battle

A song to accompany an intense lightsaber battle.

Trivia

The name of the book for which they are fighting is called "Guess How Much I Love You."
