In the early stages, says Horner, he may work on themes and instrumentation, but "I can't really start weaving the quilt until the film is locked, since I'm writing to sequences of fixed footage and length. In Braveheart I wanted to help the feeling of the fellow being a hero and a martyr. Most people would have scored his execution differently.
