youremywayhome asked: what do you do at your internship? what does a "music supervisor" do? :)
a music supervisor is the person who coordinates music for movies and television shows. a supervisor has the job of choosing, getting approved, and fitting in all the music used. very heavy on the licensing and publishing side as well as having an ear for it. the supervisor I work with does the music for Burn Notice and is currently working on 3 indie films.
What I do while I’m there is research on potential artists (publishing, label, etc.), listening to music, cataloging songs, and handling the millions of cds sent to the supervisor. I also hear a lot of “dramatic, emotional, build up” drum sounds and instrumentals all day.
