12. The director listen to the cues on the speakers of his laptop and wonders why there is no bass in the music.

13. The director ask each person he/she meets to give a feedback on the cue he/she just received.

14. The director tells you to use a minor chord because the scene is sad.

15. The producer is supposed to be the only one giving feedback to the composer. The director calls the composer in the back of the producer to have the score going his/her way. The post production supervisor and the editor also have their own idea of how the score should be and they call too.

16. After the score is completed, the filmmakers come back with major edits on 24 of the 30 scenes the composer scored.
