Digital Editing - Text 2
Horner did not have enough time to write the score that Cameron had wanted, with many cues written only the night before their respective recordings. Significant changes were made to the film throughout the recording process, and as a result, Horner’s score did not work with much of the film as written. Extensive changes were thus needed before the film was released, and much of the score was heavily edited to fit the final theatrical cut of the film. Horner originally wrote nineteen cues for the film; none appears in the film completely intact.[3] Altogether, nearly 200 edits were made to Horner’s score.[4] Several cues were replaced entirely, either by licensed music or cues from Jerry Goldsmith’s score to Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979). Others remained largely intact, with portions of the original music eliminated entirely, looped or repeated to alter their lengths, or replaced with elements from other cues. While Horner would go on to receive an Academy Award nomination for the score, his relationship with Cameron was significantly damaged as a result of the experience, and they would not work together again until Titanic (1997), more than a decade later.
