RESCORING EXERCISE #3 | NETFLIX DARK S01E04

Horror
Suspense
Tension

► The concept is to choose a scene from a movie or series, remove the soundtrack and recreate a new one. The idea is not to try reproducing something similar, but to start from scratch while making sure to respect the style of the original movie. The only rule is to never edit the original video images. Most of the videos have the music mixed with the dialogues and the sound effects, that's why you won't hear any voices nor background sounds as I removed them

► For this exercise I've used an excerpt from the Netflix Series "DARK" (Season 1, Episode 4)

► All credits & owners in the video description
