Music plays a key role in film, television, and even video games—heavy bass can help set a nightclub scene, feverish violins can create tension, or pop music can place a scene or film in a specific era. Music sets the tone for each scene and creates emotion in viewers, and that’s why video productions have someone called a music supervisor.
The music supervisor is the head of the music department on a film or television show, and they select and license music for the production. Most music supervisors work as freelancers on a project basis, but others can be employed by a production company or a music-supervision company.
They are not in the spotlight, and we don’t know their names. Yet, we are all highly influenced through the music supervisor’s work. They set the tone of a film, TV show, or commercial, and create (and are able to manipulate) your emotions and feelings. Music supervisors can set a whole TV show or film to a specific time period.
