Making quality moving pictures has never been easier or more
affordable, and the proliferation and ease of access to digital
recording devices has prompted scores of amateurs to record and
post videos to YouTube and the like. Paradoxically, however,
scoring and arranging music for motion pictures is, in many ways,
more complicated now than ever before, requiring extensive
knowledge of notation, arranging, recording, and mixing software
and multi-component DAW workstations. In Composing for Moving
Pictures: The Essential Guide, author Jason Gaines offers practical
tools with which to navigate the increasingly complex environment
of movie music composition. He addresses both the principles of
composition for moving pictures and the technologies which drive
music composition, performance, and recording in an integrated and
comprehensive fashion. The guide takes readers from square one -
how technology can facilitate, rather than hinder, creativity in
scoring - and then moves into the basics of working with MIDI files
and on to more advanced concepts such as arranging, mixing, and
integrating surround sound. Gaines illustrates each step of the
process with screen shots and explanations in the form of program
tutorials. Later chapters offer tips on budgeting out studio
sessions, hiring music copyists, and presenting one's work to (and
negotiating contracts with) clients. A section of appendices
includes a glossary, a guide to keyboard shortcuts, and references
to official software program documentation, as well as interviews
with industry veterans. Composing for Moving Pictures fills a hole
in literature on film scoring in the digital age and will prove to
be an invaluable resource for music educators at the university and
secondary level. Amateur composers will also delight in this
easy-to-use guidebook.
