Description:

This project-based course will introduce students to concepts, compositional strategies, and technologies associated with the combination of music, sound and image in Film. Stylistically diverse music by a variety of composers, taken from both historical and contemporary films, will be examined for its role in controlling the depth and speed of the viewer/listener's awareness of shifts in the underlying narrative thread and changes in the psychological make-up of characters. Students will receive regular critiques of composition projects requiring them to apply demonstrated concepts and techniques relating to, other collaborative multimedia settings including video, web-based art, performance, dance and immersive installation environments will also be studied. Sound/image timing and synchronization techniques, digital sound manipulation, MIDI instrumental mock-ups and synthesis will be demonstrated, practiced and utilized in scene-scoring and multimedia projects suitable for a composer's portfolio.
