This six‑session course introduces students to the fundamentals of film music, starting with
how music shapes emotion and narrative, then moving through core musical elements like
tempo, harmony, texture, and dynamics. Students learn about motifs, themes, practice
sketching short musical ideas, and explore accessible scoring tools. The course emphasizes
creativity and experimentation, with exercises such as scoring film music tropes or
reimagining moods with limited sound palettes.
By the final sessions, students collaborate to score a one‑minute clip, applying their new
skills to create different interpretations of the same scene. The focus is on understanding
how musical choices—whether simple motifs or dynamic contrasts—transform the cinematic
experience, leaving students with both practical skills and a deeper appreciation of film
music’s storytelling power
