How to Foreshadow Your Melody

When we foreshadow a melody, we're making it feel inevitable – like it was always meant to happen. This feeling of inevitability is really not all that hard to achieve. In fact, you can make it happen with just one fairly simple technique.

Here's what you learn today:

• The simple technique you need to learn to foreshadow a melody
• How you can make that foreshadowing more subtle by using a real sequence.
• How I was able to build out just a slice of the melody into a whole introduction.

The tools I showcase here are the very same your favorite composers and film scorers use to make the world of a movie come alive. So pay attention, because while these may seem like simple techniques, they can take you very far!

Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
