Music

Every film's music comes from Suno, a hero track included. This chapter writes the music brief, sets Suno's controls, handles sung Arabic and the real singer, then makes and screens three options against the cut and covers downloads and the licence. The cut it is written against is made first, in Editing. Where the music sits in the mix comes next, in Sound design and mix.

The music brief

The one-page music brief written from the cut, and the music-first route when the film is a song.

• The music brief: Write one page from the treatment's music section and the picture-locked assembly, with the dialogue and voiceover already in place.

• The music-first route: When the film is a song, a jingle or a cut on the music, lock the track first and generate the pictures to it.

Suno

Why Suno makes all the music, its controls and starting values, and worked style texts.

• Suno always, hero tracks included: Suno makes all the music, for every film: ads, hero tracks, and music-led, luxury and broadcast films too.

• Suno controls and starting values: Work in Advanced mode, with Variety and My Taste off, and change one slider at a time.

• Style-text examples: Six style formulas (the settings and style text for a common job), then eight complete examples.

The singer

Sung lyrics, a singer's style in plain musical terms, personas and the real singer's session.

• Sung lyrics and the real singer: Write lyrics to the tempo, describe a singer's style in musical words, keep one vocal character across versions, and finish every sung track with a real singer.

Takes and delivery

The take cap, the shortlist against the cut, downloads and the licence.

• Music takes and the shortlist: Three options, a hard cap on Creates, a shortlist by ear in Suno's player, then measurements on the downloaded shortlist.

• Downloads and the licence: Download only what you will use, and only while the plan that grants commercial rights is active.
