The Perspective composer's forum on Facebook is currently doing a challenge to re*-score this scene from Dr. No. This is my stab at it.

*The original scene actually has no music under it, so "re"-scoring is a bit of a technical misnomer.

Nice job with that scoring. The suspense build is well-handled, and the sound choices work. I thought it was a very good attempt. Maybe the drums at the end are just a little loud and slightly mask the dialog.

Interesting trivia. In London, before his departure for Jamaica, 'M' had Bond hand in his Beretta 418 and exchange it for a Walther PP. The gun in this scene is a FN 1910.

Good work :)

Thank you for listening! Agreed on the drums at the end. I know nothing about firearms (although now I know the max capacity for a Smith & Wesson..!) so I humbly defer to you. :)

think it starts off really well and fits.
0:50->1:00 I think that note is held too long.
Perhaps the music is mixed a little too loud to the video audio.
1:56 liked the percussion elements.
