Job description
Project overview
This assignment is for an experienced music composer to craft an original score for a cultural campaign film of roughly two minutes. The piece will accompany an Arabic voiceover and should follow the relationship between Rashid and Noura, building toward the feeling of طمأنينة (tama'neena), or deep reassurance. The music needs to feel intimate, restrained, and acoustic, ideally led by piano or strings, with a contemporary Arabic or Gulf character that avoids stereotypical or exoticized treatment. It should elevate the emotional flow of the film while leaving room for the narration and moments of silence, then rise gradually into the final emotional release.
Deliverables
- Create and produce an original score of about 123 seconds that is precisely aligned with the locked edit.
- Provide a final mix and stems in 48kHz/24-bit quality.
- Submit one demo version for review and approval.
- Complete up to 2–3 revision rounds based on client feedback.
- Ensure the composition complements the story, the voiceover, and the film’s emotional pacing.
- Hand over all assets for exclusive buyout use on GCC social and digital channels.
Requirements
- Previous work on narrative films or brand films, with clear evidence of emotional storytelling in a portfolio.
- Ability to write subtle, modern Arabic or Gulf-influenced music without relying on clichés.
- Strong command of acoustic instruments, especially piano and strings.
- Experience syncing music accurately to picture and spoken narration.
- Ability to deliver polished audio files, including final mixes and stems, to professional standards.
- Good communication habits and openness to iterative feedback.
- Availability to work on a quick schedule and handle 2–3 rounds of changes.
- A showreel with relevant examples; Arabic or Gulf projects are a notable plus.
