Modern Film Composing
Modern Film Composing
Class Description
A film’s score is so much more than background music. It creates a mood, shapes the story, and influences the way viewers interpret the action. In Modern Film Composing, Will and Brooke Blair ("The Blair Brothers") will examine the art and illuminate the science of scoring moving media.
You can hear The Blair Brothers’ work in award-winning features (from indie films to Disney), documentaries, commercials, and television shows. In this class, they’ll share their expertise and help you:
- Find the style and tone of music that best suits your film
- Create dynamic musical elements that fall within your budget
- Improve your collaboration with composers
Composing music for a film can be an intimidating process for both filmmakers and composers, in this class you’ll learn practical strategies for approaching your project and producing a final product that fits your artistic intention.
