Rewrites. Virtually every student- and professional film-score will require some kind of rewrite. Some cues will need a minor tweak, but if more than a third of the score is being significantly rewritten, a communication breakdown has occurred. This means that the time is ripe to create a different approach to getting the filmmaker’s ideas understood so that the music can successfully support the emotional needs of the picture. • No more than 2 rewrites per cue can be requested of the composer. And the final such request cannot be made later than 3 days prior to the scoring session, or, if there is no scoring session, 4 days prior to the dub. The rationale for this rule is this: The time spent composing the cues often comprises less than half of the entire scoring schedule. The remainder of the time, the composer is developing themes and styles, orchestrating, preparing pre-records and scoring files, as well as editing and mixing. If live musicians are used, a substantial amount of time also is spent recruiting players and creating printed parts for them to use at the session.
