Abstract

Film Scoring is a creative and collaborative activity that involves several practitioners, in particular music specialists (film composers) and non specialists (filmmakers). These practitioners face recurrent challenges in communication primarily because they do not share the same musical language. In this paper we present the results of research undertaken into the communication process between filmmakers and composers, with particular focus on the challenges experienced by the two parties. We then propose and discuss an interaction design approach to progress towards appropriate computer-based solutions.
