    paper Spring | Original Orchestral Film Score

    I composed the original score for Spring, a narrative short film exploring emotional transition and renewal. The music was designed to support the film’s arc through evolving orchestration, thematic development, and dynamic pacing.
    The score blends cinematic orchestral textures with subtle harmonic shifts to reflect character growth and internal tension. Particular focus was placed on motif-driven writing, controlled builds, and emotional restraint during dialogue-heavy scenes.
    This project reflects my approach to film scoring: serving the story first, shaping emotional trajectory through orchestration, and creating cohesion through thematic continuity.
