OneShot (film)/Soundtrack

OneShot (Original Motion Picture Score) is the score album to the 2019 film of the same name, which is based on the 2016 video game. It was composed by Nicholas Britell, marking it his first work on an animated film and the second to be a collaboration with Moonlight director Barry Jenkins, who worked on OneShot's screenplay, though he did not direct it. The album was led by the song "Early Days" by Bon Iver, which was released prior on May 10, 2019. The full album containing Britell's score and "Early Days" was released on the film's release date of June 14, 2019 via Milan Records.
==Background==
During pre-production of OneShot in 2017, Nicholas Britell was contacted by his Moonlight collaborator Barry Jenkins, who was writing the screenplay, to work on the original score for the film. Britell accepted the offer after having looked into the original OneShot game and liked it.
==Composition==
Britell began work on the soundtrack in September 2018, using a wide range of instruments, such as: a full string orchestra, flutes, woodwinds, pianos, synthesizers, triangles, and harps.
The score contains various themes written for most characters in OneShot, and many use different instruments. For example, Niko's theme is composed with a flute and a piano. Britell used this to introduce the audience to the character in a lullaby-like way, given Niko's appearance in the game and film. Prophetbet's is composed with a synthesizer and woodwinds to give off the odd sensation Niko feels when they meet Prophetbet for the first time.
