I have a question for the directors on the boards. How much time do you usually give composers to work on a film? I am currently working on the score for a student short film, which will have about 8-9 minutes of music. I was given about a month's notice to look over the script and brainstorm, but I will only have about five days to actually score to picture, due to the shooting schedule.
For me, this seems very fast, especially since this is a service I am providing for free, and naturally have to work a day job to pay the bills. I'm taking on the challenge because I feel it will be great practice, though.
Is this a typical schedule?
