Hi all,
First "real" post here. I'm a composer, and I have a podcast with three other guys (two of which are other composers) about filmscoring. In one particular episode, we hit upon what I think is pretty valuable information for filmmakers: first, how one might go about getting in to film scoring (and that includes if you're a filmmaker attempting to score your own film); and second, how directors should speak to their composers.
You can listen to it here.
But I'm interested in getting a discussion going about this, because communication between director and composer is inherently odd, especially if you've never worked with a composer before.
Filmmakers, what sort of problems have you run in to while communicating your desires to your composer?
Composers, what's the number one thing you wish a filmmaker would do/not do?
