Music Supervisor

Several months ago I started reading more information on getting music placement in films and other visual media.  A Music Supervisor is the production contact who would facilitate the placement process.

A Music Supervisor handles the process of choosing, negotiating, and incorporating pieces of music into visual media (such as a television show or movie), acting as a liaison between the creative and business ends of this process. This position is most active within media based industries, including live events, television, film, advertising, theater, and video gaming. Music supervisors may work within production companies, film studios, networks, music supervision companies, or do freelance work.

Author of Music Business Handbook and Career Guide, David Baskerville, notes, “This is one of the few production specialties that has almost unlimited growth potential, because there are no technical qualifications at all and no universally accepted job description. The field remains wide open to people with connections and the ability to get the job done.”
