No, you won't be able to get Beatles masters even though your film is set in the 1960s, or a Macklemore and Ryan Lewis song just because you have a club scene. The second goal would be to make sure that the director is going in the right creative direction and that his or her vision matches the proposed budget. In either case, the goal for the music supervisor is to secure the desired rights within the budget of the director. You may want to secure music rights at the least amount with minimal terms (film festival, worldwide, one year), or you may want to secure the most rights at the least price (all media rights in perpetuity, step deal).
Others may want to better understand what their choices are, in which case a supervisor may help with composer selection and various music cues. Others may want to use music creatively in a scene to enhance the mood or tone of the film, and need assistance with music selection that fits their budgets. Some documentarians may only want the music that is already in their scenes cleared quickly and efficiently, at the lowest cost possible. What is it that we really do? A good music supervisor will first want to understand what the director's goals are with the music in the film. Yet music is expensive, and because it is copyrighted, permissions must be granted, making the process long and arduous. Documentarians often get stuck with a scene where the music is built-in, and they then have to clear the particular song heard in the scene. Most music supervisors service directors by helping them match a post-production budget with the appropriate music to parallel the directors' sensibility and the scene's required mood. Unfortunately, only about a third of the job is creative the other two thirds is administrative, made smoother by relationships built up over many years. Driving in a car listening to the right soundtrack is sometimes no different from being in a movie theater.
Music supervision is one of those coveted jobs by individuals who are passionate about music and who sense they can match songs with images.
