GETTING YOUR TRACKS ON FILM & TV

Tafsiri Entertainment Group

Indispensable Music (secret)
• In all TV shows, films, and games it heightens emotions,
hides bad acting or makes an actor an otero.

• Makes the difference between great and mediocre: MUSIC

or the lack of it or how it is used. (Just enough, a little bit
or too much use of music)

• STILL GETTING PAID!

• But who?
• Music and film work hand in hand, a song gets
a great boost if it’s heard in a film but at times
a song does great things for a movie--- it’s a
win-win situation
• EXHIBIT A – A perfect example of film and
record industry synergies pushed both to
record sales. WIN - WIN
• The needs for film, TV & Gaming
are so wide ranging that you never
know when your song is badly
needed—GET IT OUT THERE!

• Your thinking let me write a killer

song that would work in a film---
you don’t have to--- we only use a
few seconds and you get paid.
 Using TV, FILM& Games

Music on TV and Films cuts both ways:

promotes you across a wider audience and
makes you instant cash.

• El sentimiento_ es tan profundo,que puedo explicarlo.,
cierro los ojos y de repente me salen alas y comienza mi
viaje asía las alturas, asta llegar a esa montaña ....la
montaña sagrada,desde donde contemplo el movimiento
del universo ,es cuando siento el corazón de áfrica, es el
punto mas importante del mundo y entonces me salen
lagrimas pero de felicidad porque se que la humanidad
esta cambiando ... porque tiene que cambiar. Mando un
saludo a la tierra desde esta altura fría.GRACIAS
• (The feeling is so profound that I can’t explain., I close my
eyes and I suddenly sprout wings and start my trip
grabbing heights, until you reach that mountain .... the
sacred mountain, from which I contemplate the movement
of the universe, is when I feel the heart of Africa, is the
most important point in the world but then I get tears of
happiness because I know that humanity is changing ...
because it has to change. Send a greeting to the ground
from this height fría.GRACIAS
