Writing songs and music for movies can be a good living however the work for hire clause is the single most biggest rip off in the music industry.
The work for hire clause means that you not only give up any right to further payment, but also that your not the legal author of the work if you sign a contract the company that employs you is officially the writer and you dont exist.
Film and Tv scoring used to be dominated by classically trained composers but these days a decked out midi studio with good music content and a nice trademark can be enough to score a commercial , movie, tv, or video game deal. If you decide to get into film and tv scoreing I suggest you find a attorney first who specializes in this kind of work.
