Film Scoring 101- Dorian Mode - Concepts of Music for Film

Film Scoring 101- Dorian Mode - Concepts of Music for Film

In this Episode of Everything Music I explore the Dorian Mode from a Film Scoring point of view and not the linear possibilities like in Part I. You should re-watch Part I to go over the concepts of the triads and seventh chords in he Dorian Mode.

It's cool how the dorian mode can convey that emotion of realistic optimism. Hopeful, but not naïve or overly-idealistic.

Adam Neely in his video "Why is major happy?" said that the dorian mode is the most neutral mode of the diatonic scale in terms of "brightness" (relative size of the intervals in a scale), being lydian the brightest and locrian the darkest. If you invert the intervals of the lydian mode the result is a locrian mode, same with ionian-phrygian and mixolydian-aeolian. But if you invert the intervals of the dorian mode the result is the same mode. I found that fascinating so I had to share it! Thank you for your video.

I was lost on Part 1, now I feel better ;)
Your Dorian piece is beautiful, plenty of Tensions and Emotions!
Thanks Rick.

[petragaffney]

Wow, your composition is beautiful Rick!

[MaxTooney]

Your original composition has a Thomas Newman feel to it. I'm really enjoying these modal concept videos.

[riccardosalin]

very smart formula..i like the fact that there's the right amount of info to let a practiced composer work on it by himself without having to dive into too long videos.
super rick you keep respect to your name
(in italian beato means ''blessed'')

Best etude of all mode videos :) I prefer the slower ones over the fast because I feel they better demonstrate specifics of the mode. And I love how they always get me thinking on how I would change them if I was the one composing. That's a great sign, means I'm learning something. Very good tutorials, opened up a broad range of tools for me.

In the film at 13:35 you should have briefly modulated to the key of F U for that van running the red light in front of you.

Thank you verry much for "everything music", Mr.Rick Beato !!!

[evie]

Love the Dorian, Howard Shore and Alan Sivestri come to my mind right away.

[Rawkabilly]

Every time I hear the Dorian mode, all I hear is the music from the video game "halo" if you haven't heard the music I highly recommend it!

I believe the composer was martin O'Donnell.

[movingcow]

Wow! thanks Rick. I struggled to grasp this concept (age thing!) until you played your video at the end. Then it all made perfect sense.

[jeremyvelez]

Love the lesson and the composition, great job as always!

[TakisMasterKey]

Great stuff Rick! As always your etude steals the show! Keep it man!

[darknightmikeyearsago]

2:02 This gave me some strong Halo vibes.

[mistaed]

Awesome teacher!all your tutorials..i have on my external backup too you and God bless you, and your family too!!!

[TheClassicalSauce]

The film at the end gave me a massive sense of "onsim" for some reason. Must be the Dorian mode!

[thevilegrin]

These vids are amazing- learning so much Rick!

[janouwoit]

Many thanks for a very good way to get to understand modes. The only thing I find difficult is to be able to see the notes you are playing because you are facing the screen (mirror effect)!

I liked this video, but it pretty much only covered dorian voicings for a chord. It would be nice if you covered more things like chord progressions and melodies
