We'll t cover these 3 crucial things when getting started in the director-composer journey:
Story - Share your film's narrative and plot points. A composer needs to understand the story they're helping to tell musically.
Vision - Explain your creative goals and the perception you want for your movie. How can the music support that vision?
Tone & Mood - Discuss the vibe, emotions, and feelings you want to evoke. Show them your mood board and color palette!The music convos will flow naturally once your composer grasps the story, tone, and vision.
