Course Breakdown
module 1
A basic Workflow
Learn the core steps for every film scoring project, including importing your movie into a DAW, spotting the movie and syncing key moments to your music, and then scoring. We'll do this with a documentary clip which we'll provide for you to import and score yourself.
module 2
Telling Stories with Music
We'll score a scene a few different ways, showing the transformative effect music can have on a movie. We'll be using and providing a clip from Batman Beyond: Year One. We'll be giving you a short composition task too – scoring action to suspense.
