## Overview

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 ranging from independent films to Disney productions, as well as documentaries, commercials, and television shows.

In this class, they will share their expertise and help you:

- Find the style and tone of music that best suits your film
- Create dynamic musical elements that fit within your budget
- Improve your collaboration with composers

Will and Brooke will also score two CreativeLive student films, one prepared in advance and one scored live on air, offering an insider's view of the film scoring process. They will also discuss their professional trajectories and how they have built and maintained careers as composers.

Composing music for a film can be an intimidating process for both filmmakers and composers. In this class, you will learn practical strategies for approaching your project and producing a final product that fits your artistic vision.
