Sound in Short Film

It doesn't matter what film you're creating, whether its long or short, sound or at least music is an imperative convention. 
Music is an extremely powerful tool in film making, it contributes to the entire mood and feel of the whole thing. When working in professional film making the director is able to find a composer and instruct them to create a sound track tailor made for the film. When creating short film, or low budget films like I am, of course this isn't often the case. However luckily, a very talented musician in Sixth Form wants to improve his show reel, so he has offered to sit down with me and go through my own ideas for the film, then he will go off and compose something that he see's fit. This is a great help, meaning I wont need to trawl through none copy right music sites in order to find something perfect. 
Personally I find that one of the first things I always think about when creating anything, is the music. When creating my AS work I found a bit of music and that's what gave me the inspiration for my actual film.
In the professional film world top composers working on the big Hollywood block busters can earn a three figure sum! Also the use of an established artists song can earn them up to 3Million. But normally speaking the score for a major movie represents about 8 Percent of the whole film.
