A required course for New Media students. Particular attention will be paid to the role of music in media, as well as current industry trends and developments in the field. Gain a foundational understanding of film scores by watching major motion pictures in the company of an audience, discussing and analyzing the music, and examining the relationship between the filmmaker and the composer. In addition to screenings, various guest lectures will be given through the semester by successful industry professionals. After each event you will be required to submit an assignment, which may be either (a) to write a 300-500 word response to the movie and its score, or (b) to compose a short piece of music 'inspired by' this week's movie score.
