It’s perhaps fair to say that the post production of any media, be it film, music or television, is dramatically less glamorous compared to the actual filming and performing of what you see onscreen. However, it is without doubt the true nuts and bolts stage of the final product, and often can make or break any production – a sterling performance by an actor can be lost if subject to a bad film or video editor for example.
Sherlock series three has been in the midst of this process for several months now, and just this week one of the most vital parts of post production has been completed – the recording of the score for the S3E3: His Last Vow.
In the case of music for film and television, the aim is of course to underscore and heighten what you are seeing onscreen, to draw your attention and emotions to a certain point. In the case of Sherlock, composers David Arnold and Michael Price pay particular attention to themes and motifs, assigning specific instruments and short pieces of music to particular characters. This highlights when a character is physically (or metaphorically, at times) onscreen.
