Guerrilla Film Scoring should be required reading for anyone considering ...By SG18Guerrilla Film Scoring should be required reading for anyone considering a career in composing for media. In short; it provides a sobering reality check through an in-depth look at seemingly every aspect of the business. Borum takes no prisoners in his thoroughgoing and detailed assessment of what one needs to know and do to have a career as a composer for film; TV; games and any media that requires music. Irsquo;ve been in the music business for almost thirty-years; and although I am primarily an instrumentalist and not a composer (although I have an avid interest in composition and specifically songwriting); everything in the book rings true. Indeed; there is information in this book that is as important for instrumentalists; copyists; orchestrators and music editors as it is for composers. As with any informative; single-focused book the reader will find things that may or may not be as important or as essential as Borum suggests. Nevertheless; all of what Borum says needs to be dealt with one way or the other by any aspiring media composer. As corny as it sounds; donrsquo;t read it at your own risk. Or; put another way; itrsquo;s a must-read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
