Recently I was asked to give an introductory workshop on the world of film music for a class of young directors. My specific aim was to introduce them to the process and advantages of working with a composer on their films in the future.
It covers a lot of ground and so is necessarily quite superficial on each point, and there are also areas where I’ve left nothing but a basic concept on the screen which I expanded upon significantly out loud…but since some folks asked me to make my presentation available, I’m putting up the slideshow (there was no audio/video recording, sorry) and I welcome anyone to send me feedback or other speaking opportunities — there’s something very satisfying about sharing the craft with others!
