Setting the Score with Composer Benjamin Young

Informações:

Synopsis

If you’re a new filmmaker, the thought of working with a composer may not even have entered your brain yet…but without a score, a movie is just a bunch of people talking about stuff and running away from explosions like regular folk. No excitement. No drama. Just some guy running for his life against a backdrop of birds chirping and cars passing by, like a chump. And that’s where people like Composer Benjamin Young come in–because a film without a score just isn’t quite done. We sat down and talked about what goes into that process, logistically, philosophically, and technically, and how to talk to a composer in a way that will get you what you want for your movie. There’s a ton of good stuff in here, especially if you’re as into sound and music as I am. Enjoy!
