So... you want to be a TV or film composer?
Ever heard a film or television theme song, or another piece of music, and was transported back to when you first heard it? Maybe it’s the recognizable notes from Star Wars, Jaws, Halloween or Jurassic Park that conjure that memory or feeling. From comedy to horror, music has a way of evoking powerful emotions in audiences, often when words cannot.
We, at the Ottawa Film Office, caught up with Serge Côté, a local award-winning composer for film and television, to learn more about scoring for film and TV.

Eaux Turbulentes
It’s been a while since I mixed a full drama series. It was fun to get back to my roots as a sound mixer. With the help of Jordy at Affinity, we mixed this amazing limited drama series. This is when being fluent in French and English comes in handy.
Produced by Les Productions Léa Pascal
Eaux Turbulentes - Hélène Florent, Jean-Michel Le Gal, Gabriel Sabourin
