” follows Richard Williams, played by Will Smith, as he takes daughters Venus [Saniyya Sidney] and Serena [Demi Singleton] from Compton, Calif. to the global tennis stage, setting them on their path to tennis stardom.
“I put the first cut together, pretty much as scripted. We looked at the film, and I said, ‘The biggest problem is the opening.’ Rei and I talked about maybe mixing the shopping for coaches with the picking up of the balls, which is what you see in the beginning. “We sent our sound supervisor, Richard King, down to the tennis court with a tennis pro to record every single hit and have the progression of the age. THIS IS CONFUSING; CAN WE MAKE IT … to record every single hit and [show progress over different ages]. So, when you get to the final, that professional level of the ball hits like a bullet and you really heard that sound.
“There’s a melody in that theme that I thought would be interesting to do variations on for pretty much all the other themes. It mirrored the way that Richard had this plan that he then gave to his daughters. It’s a five-note theme and it also becomes a theme for the competition scenes.
