When you are writing music script/lyric/code for a film, always remember that you should write more music than is called for film.  Assume that the scenes will run the longest time period that they can run and will never shortchange a scene when it comes with the music.  To get more experience with this, you will find that working with aspiring film students might be help. Try rewriting the scores for the films that you are familiar with.

Keep this in your mind; you should also be aware of the fact that you are going to be working from a story board version of the movie. With that in mind, you will need to figure out what moments are going to call for musical highlights and what sort of emotions the score needs to help the movie evoke.  Although the score is important that is a part of the background, it’s very important tool when it comes to making sure that the people who are watching the movie get the right idea.
