Develop a foundation of creative musical skills, including composition, counterpoint, orchestration, and conducting, as you prepare music for synchronous use with visual media such as film, TV, video games, and more. As you develop an interpretive sensitivity to the dramatic effectiveness of music when paired with visual media, you’ll also learn the technical skills involved, such as how to create a professional-level score mock-up, for example.To demonstrate your mastery in the area, you will complete a portfolio that will include: a finished score of a short film, fully produced and synchronized; a similarly produced and synchronized main title theme for a television series; a professional resume; a letter of application suitable for the purpose of career placement and advancement; and a recording of an original composition that you will produce to function as a demo to accompany an application portfolio.
You will study acknowledged masterpieces of film scoring and, through this exposure, you will develop an aesthetic vision and the ability to recognize and discuss quality work in film scoring. You’ll develop your interpersonal and other situational skills as you cooperate with performers, studio personnel, technical assistants, and others to finish projects and you will work on other students’ projects as well. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Admission to the film scoring major requires departmental approval. Students wishing to declare film scoring as their major must have earned a grade of B or higher in FS-221 Intensive Introduction to Film Scoring before final approval of the declaration of major can be given. If special circumstances require consideration for declaration of major before a grade is received for FS-221, the department will consider such requests on a case-by-case basis when a student is taking FS-221.
