How do you describe the music you hear in a film? Students at Boston's Berklee College of Music are working with Paramount Pictures to create a database of descriptions of the studio's film scores for future filmmakers in search of music.

We speak with two of the students, Alexandra Zwart and Andrew Lembo, about the project and what it teaches them about film score writing.
