GUEST,Jerry Anachronistic Music in Movies (91* d) RE: Anachronistic Music in Movies 07 Mar 20


I may be wrong, but I assume there is a lot of ‘product placement’ by entrepreneurial music agencies/publishers in films. The list of songs in the credits is usually so long that to have used each in their entirety would be longer than the film itself, with no space for any dialogue. Often only a snippet is used, or is lost behind dialogue or action sounds, so why do they bother including it at all? Is it to allow industry associates to share some of the money being made, or is just to flog contrived soundtrack compilations afterwards? In the past, film scores were produced by in-house studio musicians, but now many tend to be just vehicles for publishers to re-sell stuff from their back catalogue to a new audience. Bring back Max Stein, Ennio Morricone, and that guy who did a lot of Hitchcock’s films I say. Sorry about the thread creep....
