Today’s lecture was presented by Lol Hammond who works as a music supervisor on a lot of British films.
Lol’s main role was to source music for films along with the permissions to be able to use the tracks legally in films. Lol mentioned he sometimes is allowed to choose the music himself or have creative input in the choice. However most of the time he is just given a track list to confirm.
Lol stated that this is a great way to get your foot in the door for working in the film side of the industry as this is a great way to start working on short films. He also said a great knowledge and wide variety of genre or index of music is also a great help here, as although you can research it, initiate is a great help when selecting music whilst watching picture lock.
