4.0 out of 5 stars Intro to scoring for filmmakers; also great for musicians, January 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting the Best Score for Your Film: A Filmmakers' Guide to Music Scoring (Paperback)

By a working film-and-television composer (Bell's credits include films such as "There Goes the Neighborhood" and "The Lounge People," and TV shows "Murder She Wrote" and "In The Heat of The Night"), this book is a handy guide to the procedures, vocabulary, and even the culture that surrounds the creation and commissioning of film scores. Though not targeted at composers, this little book nevertheless opens a window into the film-scoring environment. Lavishly endorsed by both producers and fellow composers, GETTING THE BEST SCORE...introduces the reader to cue sheets, spotting sessions, budgets, and deal-making points. A welcome and accessible addition to the available literature on film scoring. Ron Simpson, School of Music, Brigham Young University, author of MASTERING THE MUSIC BUSINESS.
