Document Summary
Temp track temporary music used in film previews dubbed in specifically for that purpose. These songs may come from previous soundtracks or the composers" previous films. This is usually the case as the score is written after the film has been shot. Occasionally, the temp track is more preferred than the original score created for the film. These temp tracks can sometimes remain in the final cut. Spotting the film composer, music editor, producer and the director are called in to view the finished product and discuss the texture of the music to be used and where it should be placed. Two decisions to be made at these sessions include: which scenes will have music, where music will start and stop. Subtle changes, such as the depth of an actor"s voice, can change the type of music needed. If done correctly, the music can create weight and depth in a scene.
