From Silence to Sound
Composing for Film & Commercials
Are you a composer that’s always been curious about scoring music for film, documentaries or commercials?
This class takes you through the fundamental elements (with real life examples) for scoring music to moving picture. At the end of this class, you’ll have working strategies to:
Outline/layout your rough draft so the music fits
Determine the right tempo/meter
Make important decisions about how to approach composing for your video
Successfully communicate with the director
Respond to a reference track
It used to be that having a custom film score was out of reach, except the big budget movies. There's now an explosion of indie films, in need of music. And tremendous opportunity for new composers to find projects to work on. In addition, you can now finish/complete a film score with a home recording studio. Writing music for film is an opportunity to make a huge impact on the emotional tone of a film/project. Your contribution will greatly shape how the viewer interprets the events happening on the screen.
These are real world examples for composing for commercials, or composing for film. This class also assumes that you have a working knowledge of music theory, and using audio recording software. And probably some experiencing composing songs/music already. We will be looking more specifically on applying those skills to moving picture/video/film.

games used as examples
I had been trying to get tips on writing music for a game I'm developing, and although there are no games used as examples here, the tips and techniques demonstrated in this class taught me a lot about how different elements of a piece can influence the overall vibe of what is happening.

extremely relevant
That said...it's EXTREMELY relevant to someone who really wants to get a "behind the scenes" look at composing for film, and what not.
asked by
The course was weakest when he was asked by the directors to add some energy to his compositions, but didn't really show us how he was going to do that.
carry yourself
Yet, I still really enjoyed the course - the teacher has a pleasant and professional demeanor - which is indirectly a lesson itself - if you want to compose sync for directors and supervisors, you have to carry yourself in a professional manner.

The teacher also provides a list of key things to pay attention to when you are composing for a certain event/situation that is extremely useful.
clearly teaches
But it clearly teaches you how to approach the composition and work with the director with multiple iterations, etc.
