This focuses on the foundational technical knowledge you’ll need to equip yourself with before you dive into the more creative process. We will be exploring how sampling technology works at a foundational level, learning how that works specifically with BBCSO, and helping you set up your templates so you’re ready to hit the ground running.

The key to a great sounding mockup is understanding how to make it as realistic as possible. We will be looking at all the skills needed to achieve this, from using a range of articulations, utilising MIDI controllers to shape your samples, and blending a variety of instruments.

From melody to sound palette, we will be looking at what we can use to convey emotions and tell stories. This is more an open discussion and demonstration of storytelling through music, which is a great precursor for the next module.

Leading on from the Telling Stories module, we now put this into practice. This module covers what you need to know to score to picture in your DAW, from importing the video file, spotting the cue, and writing your music.
