One of the
great challenges faced by filmmakers is dealing with
the music score. Getting the Best Score for
Your Film is the first book to directly address filmmakers concerning
film scoring basics such as the functions of underscore,
choosing and communicating with a composer, the spotting
session, the composing process, time and budget requirements,
the personnel involved, and much more.
This invaluable, well-written and comprehensive handbook
will save filmmakers many a grey hair as they prepare
for and enter into the music scoring process.
