Filmmaking: Sound & Music

In this blog post we’re going to discuss the process of securing music rights for your movie as well as affordable alternatives to getting music composed specifically for your film. We’ll also discuss how to get music for your films for free and at affordable rates of $10 – $20 / song.

Following these topics we will begin our discussion on how music and video merge together to create a certain tone. Since you have already learned about editing and cinematography, we’re now going to throw another hurdle into the mix. Now, not only will you need to compose shots properly and put them together in a way that respects continuity, but you’ll also have to edit your video based on the tempo and individual beats of music.

You’ve likely been experimenting with some of these music concepts already but we’re going to show you various technical options that will really help refine the look of your videos. There is no better way to learn how to edit a movie to the sound of music, then to work on a music video. We’ve hired actors, rented studio space and theater space and have worked alongside a talented local musician to help bring you this hands on assignment (This assignment is only available to our enrolled students – Enroll in our film course here). This will be a really useful and fun final editing assignment before moving into your film marketing and distribution assignments.

Let’s begin!
