Hey composers! I just wondered if you all might drop some tips to getting that first cue placement. I’m really grinding to figure all this stuff out but I was just wondering if anyone here had some good general tips to getting that first big milestone!

This space is for those of you building in film, TV, branded content, and visual storytelling. Drop thoughts, breakdowns, scene studies, scoring techniques, or BTS of your process. It’s not just about music. It’s about making things move.

Think of a moment in your life that could live inside a movie, game, or series. Could be epic, quiet, hilarious, your call. Now score it. Jump in: - Set the scene: In 2–3 sentences, paint the picture. - Call the track: Pick an existing song, a film cue, or describe the custom sound you’d commission. - Break down the fit: Why this music? What does it make the scene feel like? Share your “scene + score” in the → COMMENTS DOWN BELOW (This ties into Week 1 of Visual Media 101, where we dig into formats and uses — this challenge is your chance to put those ideas into action.)
