So you wanna make an indie film....Music (last
blog / next
blog) Music can do great things for a movie. Imagine “Jaws” without the “bump bump, bump, bump” theme! It would be a different film.
Music provides emotional nuance to a film – it helps you tell the audience how to feel about what they are watching. For example, in a horror film (such as “Jaws”) the scary music often tells the audience that something bad is about to happen, and creates tension. The same principle holds true for romantic films, comedies, war films, etc. – whatever emotion you are trying to create, you can do it with music. How do you go about getting music for your film? You probably should avoid any songs you've heard on the radio, or anything from pop music that is very well known – you might not be able to afford it. Unless you have a huge budget you probably want to spend your money elsewhere.
But you have a lot of options. There are many songs that are in the public domain, and can be used for free. There are websites full of music that people have created which can be used in a film for a small fee. You can approach local musicians or bands and ask if you can use their music, or if they will write something for your film. You may have to pay them something, but many will let you use their music for free as long as you give them credit. They want to get their music out there, so it is a win-win! Sometimes you don't want any music in a scene at all. There are times where the natural sounds of the scene are enough to achieve the emotions you want. Look at each scene and ask yourself what the best solution is. So go forth and get some music! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What they are saying about the Drive-In Horrorshow....
