How to score a feature-length film
How I did it: • Took 2 years to get a gig scoring a feature including networking and scoring short films
• I learned how to sequence the cues/using Apple Logic Pro
• I made relationships with filmmakers to work with
• I found two composition students to help me
• We worked 12+ hours per day for three and a half weeks
Lessons & tips: • Find a mentor
• Compose every day if possible
• Watch films for the score and how it works with the video
• Score whatever you can get your hands on
• Talk to film directors about how they work with music and composers
