We invite composers to create music to this silent film clip, created by young filmmakers from the BFI Future Film Academy. The silent film is the first video in the playlist (tap the header image on this article).

  • Using this playlist, we invite composers to create music for Daylight Robbery, taken from a longer film created by young filmmakers from the BFI’s Future Film Academy. The first video in the playlist is the film extract itself, with the original sound removed so it is completely silent and ready for your music.
  • For tips on how to approach the brief, watch Ruth Chan’s guidance videos (second video in the playlist).
  • For composing for comedy such as Daylight Robbery, many composers advise writing serious music to bring out the inherent comedy in the scene even more.
  • What did you come up with? We would love to hear your compositions, to sync to the film and include in each video playlist. If you would like your music to be featured, send your audio (by email or file transfer) to [email protected] including your name, the names of anyone else playing on your track, your age/school/college if relevant and any comments about your piece you’d like to share
