Watch a movie

 * All you have to do is watch a movie. Very easy!


 * Star Movie Shop has created a new disks called "Only a Dream" which is the final scene from a popular television series. The disk contains a rough edit, an overview of the best of the film dailies and a spotting session.


 * The spotting session is the instructions from the film's Producer to the film's composer listing all the musical cues which are needed. This disk gives you a good introduction to a spotting session.


 * If you wish, you can also score the scene and send me the audio file of the score or the score plus the dialog.
