Join us for a two session film scoring workshop where you will learn about the process of scoring a small budget film from start to finish, and also explore the history and aesthetic of classic film scoring technique. The first session will be a workshop on the “how” of scoring an indie film, where we will discuss working with a creative team, establishing musical ideas, post-production, networking, negotiating contracts, and more. The second session will be an applied composition workshop, where we will focus on learning the subtle differences between underscoring dialogue, action sequences, drama, etc. by watching examples of iconic films and analyzing the techniques used. No prior scoring background is necessary. If you are involved with music making and wish to incorporate scoring for visual media into your practice this course will be beneficial to you.
Session 1: A Comprehensive Guide to Scoring an Indie Film Monday, March 18th 6-8 pm
Session 2: Applied Film Scoring Techniques Monday, March 25th 6-8 pm
