Abstract

Especially in the low-budget and amateur score music production workflow the triangular communication between editor, director and composer is constrained by limited resources, tight schedules and the lack of common domain knowledge. Often sound-a-like ideas and precomposed material end up as static temp tracks in the rough cut and thus limit the flexibility in the composition process. Our rapid score music prototyping framework RaPScoM aims at supporting the workflow with a toolchain for semi-automated and customizeable temp track generation by exposing a set of high-level parameters based on semantic movie annotation derived from movie clip analysis and a set of basic composition rules that could be derived from exemplary (score) music. In this paper we give an overview of the framework architecture and discuss technical details on our semantic movie annotation strategy and some core composition components.
