Claire Batchelor, Composer for Film and Games

Over the years I've scored many short films, and I love underpinning drama with music. I've also had my music used in various Film trailers and TV promos. Some of my most recent shorts haven't been publicly released yet and are still going around film festivals, but you can hear the scores below.

Please see below for some of my previous work and Contact Me to talk more.

Film

Adam's Apple - 2019

Adam has returned to the Stand-Up Scene after a brief hiatus following a personal tragedy.

A commentary on masculinity and grief.

Damaged But Interesting - 2019

Art Jensen, struggling writer, is having an existential crisis, and it's only Monday; he does not know if he is Dickens or a dickhead. He wants his play produced in the West End but he can't get a break so he spends his days on the sofa watching daytime TV. That is, until his long-suffering girlfriend, Sally, turns up asking awkward questions he can't answer, like 'When are you going to grow up and get a real job?'

The Deal - 2019

Working with composer Benjamin Symons I created Additional Music for this Feature Film

1945 (Trailer) - 2017

Disney: The Little Mermaid

I was commissioned by House PR to arrange a selection of songs from Disney's "The Little Mermaid", for performance by the South London Youth Orchestra. The film was screened at the Elgar Room, Royal Albert Hall. The event was to publicise the Blu-Ray release of the film and was attended by celebrities and their children. My main purpose was to arrange the score in Sibelius so they were more suitable for a youth chamber orchestra to perform.
