Screen Scoring Foundations: Harmony and Narrative

(3 Credits)

This course provides the theoretical foundations that serve as the building blocks for the music for the screen. Divided into two areas that eventually merge, the course explores the application of harmonic and melodic principles for screen music, as well as the study of the foundations of narrative theory and storytelling. Throughout a set of theoretical readings,analyses, and creative assignments, the students will develop a set of techniques to produce music that generates meaning and that enhances the story and the narrative as a whole.
