Making Music: Film and Video Games (16+)

This week-long in-person short course is designed to introduce you to the theory and practice of writing music for visual media in film and video games. Working with a professional composer, you will gain hands-on experience of the entire scoring process, using industry-standard tools to create your own music.

Each day is divided into a morning and an afternoon session. Mornings will involve an interactive exploration of a concept or genre, with video examples and an opportunity to put them into practice. In the afternoons you will develop your own week-long project with both collaborative and solo working techniques. Guided by the course leader, you will have a chance to put your ideas into practice and hear the music unfold as you create it.
