Guide to working with a film composer

[Robin84]

Hey everybody,
I'd like to introduce a new section on my web page which deals with the working relationship between director/producer and film composers and discusses common misunderstandings and misconceptions about this relationship. I'd be happy about feedback.

This section will be extended regularly.

All the best

Thanks for the link! I'm getting ready to work out a deal with a composer for my latest short film project, WHITE WALLS. This is my first time dealing with a legit film composer so any knowledge of information on this subject is cherished.

Thanks again!

Ive always found it useful to have a really strong idea of what you want - sometimes for me that also goes right down to type of instrument for a particular component. You want to provide a solid framework of information, which gives the composer a clear understanding of what you want and what you dont want. Then stand back and let them create.
