mately know what the producer intentions
are.
Producers and composers may form a
life-long bond. This might also result in the
best movies after all.
Sometimes, the recording of the music (if
it is like a huge symphonic orchestra with
choirs and all trappings) is done in front of
a massive screen playing the movie. The
conductor will have a click-track in his ear
as well, ensuring that he/she is guiding the
musicians as to the right pace.
But are there not companies who specialise
in film music? Here is my favourite: Two
Steps from Hell.
Wiki: Two Steps from Hell is an American
production music company. The company
focuses predominantly on movie and trailer
music, and has supplied tracks to films
such as Interstellar, Harry Potter, Pirates of
the Caribbean and Aquaman. Video games
and TV series also contracted them.
Their music became so famous so they
produced a set of albums with their music,
have done major concerts, produced
singles and eBooks.
… and trust me: there is money in this!
Just to find the music can warrant a fee of
up to $2 million. But the real money is a
package deal doing the orchestra and all.
Now we talk real millions!
