Theme Tune

Theme tune for a TV show. Not something I've really done before. Options?

1. Arrange a complete piece of music that fits into 30 seconds.
2. Edit a longer piece down to the required time.

I'm going for the second. Putting together such a short piece of music, without sacrificing structure and pace, is tricky - but it can be done. Instead, I'll edit down a longer piece, and use the crusts elsewhere - segments, interviews, inserts etc.

That's the plan anyway.
