The needle drop is one of the most deadly, but delicate weapons in a filmmakers’ arsenal. Done well, the right song queued up at just the right moment elevates the emotion of a scene perfectly, pulling us through the scene and right into the agony or ecstasy of the characters. Get your copy and get ready to bop.
