What’s good everyone!? Hope y’all are well. Just following up from our live listening session last night, and our discussion following the reviews. Almost everyone always has a question or two and more often than not, some people have the same questions. And on top of that some people hear questions that they didn’t even think to ask yet. For example @Ron Irizarry brought up a question on re-titles last night that I never thought to ask about. I learned so much from him asking that question! And that is a situation that hasn’t come up for me before so I wouldn’t even think to ask about it. But all of this to say, y’all don’t have to wait to ask questions in the reviews or PTN calls. We are a community of creators looking to improve our game and move better in the industry. We are here to learn and grow with each other. So by all means, post your questions in the group. Post and Celebrate your wins. Post about a roadblock you’re hitting. We all have most likely been there a time or two and are here to help each other. Thanks to everyone that came to the live review last night and to everyone here. Appreciate y’all! As @Steve Mochel says, Thanks for coming to my TED talk lol

I would love to start pitching my own music to people. How would I approach someone about this kind of music. Should I be working on something a bit more upbeat. Also asking for feedback on the song if possible! Thank you!

So we are pivoting from the trailer world and stepping into something interesting. BRIEF OVERVIEW Following last month’s Trailer Night with special guest Brandon Lau, we are shifting lanes entirely this month. This Brief Room focuses on restraint, emotional pacing, dialogue support, and cinematic storytelling built for streaming drama and prestige television. This is not about giant impacts or trailer drops. This is about emotional control. AND TO MODEL REAL WORLD TIME GAPS - The 2 weeks of creation time is Ideal, and plenty of more time than we often get when we get an opportunity! SO EXTRA PRESSURE TESTING IS NICE.. and WILL RAMP UP as we get better!! - PROJECT: “THE PHONE CALL” FORMAT: Streaming Drama Series TYPE: Emotional Underscore / Prestige TV SCENE CONTEXT A character receives a late-night phone call that changes the direction of their life. The audience does not yet know if the news is: • devastating • hopeful • dangerous • life-changing SO: The cue should support uncertainty while evolving emotionally over time. The music must feel connected to picture and respectful to dialogue. CREATIVE TARGET Along with the info above, we are also looking for cues that will also support the show. So cues that feel: • cinematic • human • restrained • emotionally intelligent • modern • visually supportive Think:• HBO• Netflix Drama• A24• Slow emotional reveals• Internal conflict• Quiet tension AVOID Please avoid:• trailer impacts• giant drums• EDM structures• overly busy melodies• excessive layering• hard transitions• cues that overpower dialogue The cue should feel like it belongs underneath a scene, not in front of it. STRUCTURE NOTES Your cue should include:• a clear emotional beginning• development over time• breathing room• dynamic movement• a purposeful ending or sting Even subtle evolution matters. -- ******* YOU WILL FIND THE BRIEF ATTACHED TO THIS POST **** ----- - CATEGORY OPTIONS Choose ONE category for your submission: • Emotional
