All language subtitles for 01 - Introduction - Hans Zimmer Teaches Film Scoring

You. Need.

To do.

I'm going

to try to put as much into words
as I possibly can, you know?

And I'm already on slightly

thin ice here with language
because I grew up speaking German.

And here I am trying to do this
in English.

And really, some of it

to be really clear
and to be really precise,

I have to go and point you
to a piece of music and just shut up

and make you listen to it,
because that is my language.

That's my form of communicating.

So I apologize if I do my normal,

which is just go round the houses,
not stay on point.

But it's all this is how I work.

It's, it's, it's it's gathering thoughts.

It's gathering momentum.

It's gathering ideas.

And sometimes you start over here and just
so you know, you have to end over here.

Nothing is ever a straight line.

and then the only straight line

that I can offer you
is, is when you listen to the music, it,

you know, I'm not even saying it's good
music or bad music or any of that stuff.

I'm not talking about this, but there is a
there's a fairly.

I managed to arrive at a clear thought,

in the music.

And as you can tell from when I speak,

it might have been
a bit of a struggle to get there.

So this is my masterclass, and the reason
I'm doing it is this because,

partly because I feel incredibly lucky
that I got to a point

where somebody would actually ask me
to do a masterclass.

And partly I'm doing it to show you
what I've done

and encourage you
not to do it, to do your versions of it.

because I think.

Look, if there's one thing
I learned, it's,

it's it's constantly moving.

I'm supposed to constantly be moving and,

you know, the other thing I need
is, is, is

I need to have the next great composer,
you know, like,

at my heels already.

I want to hear what the
what the next great idea is in

the next is I don't need it to be mine.

But it's there's just been.

This has been a really interesting journey
so far.

This has been a worthwhile journey.

And I just sort of want to reassure you
that however much people discourage

you, however hard it gets,
you know that's at the end of the day,

it's worth it.

if you feel compelled to write

film music, then start.

Hello,
I'm Huntsville and this is my masterclass.
