Hal Leonard Music Supervision
Music supervision, or matching music to TV, live events, film, video games, ring tones, and a host of other media, is one of the fastest-growing careers in the music industry. But finding the winning song for a national ad campaign or compiling a platinum movie soundtrack takes more than just good taste: music supervision today requires serious multitasking and the ability to navigate licensing, relationships, and cultural trends with ease. This book guides you through real-world scenarios and legal landmines, explores sound design, profiles key players with insightful interviews, and provides project form templates that will save time for seasoned music supervisors.
