Soundtrack Ideas

We have decided that we will hire out our good friend, James Richardson, to compose the music for our soundtrack this year. I will be posting a composer profile shortly. We have a few initial ideas for what we want the soundtrack to sound like, and the general idea is that it will start slowly with a piano part, and then it will build up slowly, before a sweeping ending. James's composition technique favours this structure, as he is good at this style of composing. The beginning of the trailer is almost an emotional beginning, showing the character Lucas Thorne in retirement and thinking about his past, before being thrown back into action. The opening of the music must reflect this, with a calm and slightly reminiscent theme, to match the visuals of beaches and Thorne in an emotional state. There must then be a break in the music before the characters are thrown into the intense action of the film. Below are a few examples of the sort of structure I am hoping for.
