Creative Strategies in Film Scoring (book/Audio and Video Access)

Publisher: Berklee Press
Audio and Video Access Included

Create effective film scores! This book presents a framework for creative decision-making that will lead to producing the best music for a given scene: in film, television, video games, or other media.
The framework encourages clarity of concept and facilitates productive communication between the composer and director, music supervisor, and others involved with the project.
Two case studies, featuring audio and video, illustrate how different creative choices can control the expressive effect of the scene. Practical worksheets are included, which will help your team brainstorm, articulate, organize, and communicate your collective ideas and decisions.

You will learn to:
• Use a discussion framework to help the creative team arrive at the best music to tell the story
• Create music that supports the story, considering it from many angles including setting, dramatic function, character, narrative, and more
• Analyze a scene in terms of what music will work best, and then ways to create music to match the scene
• Consider the five key dimensions of a scene that must inform the music’s character
•  Prevent writer’s block or conflicting ideas from derailing music creation
