Cruella De Vil

I will always remember the scene in 101 Dalmations when Roger is writing 'Cruella De Vil', his wife asks him why he hasn't got any words for the song and is merely humming a tune.  Roger replies, "Melody comes first, then come the words."

I feel that this method can work well when writing a script.  If you have found a piece of music that you feel works perfectly for a certain theme then I don't see the harm in letting the words fall into place later.

I have found a song called 'Hate or Glory' by Gesaffelstein that I feel will work well with the idea I have for my horror piece.  I can easily see a scary chase scene and a strobe effect light flashing on a close up of someones face when I listen to this music.

Hate or Glory - Gesaffelstein

It is in the next scene that his imposed inspiration arrives and the words famously fall into place for Roger.  Let's hope it's not too long before my own Cruella De Vil walks through my door.
