Composer Reel from Berklee´s online course "Music for Film and TV"
Under the tutelage of Ben Newhouse and Vicente Avella, I delved into a comprehensive 12-week course on the art of composing and producing music for films. The video encapsulates a diverse array of genres mastered during the course, such as:
suspense, fantasy, action, heroism, war, love, sadness, majestic, horror and supernatural grandeur.
The course begins with an overview of important considerations for composing music for visual media, including how to balance music and dialogue, how to influence the audience’s emotional response, and how to create music that elicits a location or time period. The course also addresses issues specific to television, including main title theme songs, commercial bumpers, and working with music libraries. From there, each week focuses on a different genre of music for film and TV—themes such as romance, drama, action, horror, and fantasy. This music composition course analyzes each genre in terms of melody, harmony, counterpoint, tempo, rhythm, and orchestration, forming a template for each genre that you can apply to your own writing. The course features music from the biggest composers in Hollywood, including John Williams, Alan Sylvestri, James Newton Howard, James Horner, Alexandre Desplat, Marco Beltrami, Bernard Herrmann, Aaron Zigman, and others.
