Film scoring can feel mysterious from the outside, but a lot of it comes down to learning how music works with picture, story, emotion, rhythm, and silence.
In these lessons, we can look at the practical and creative side of writing music for film, TV, games, or any other visual media. I’ll help you understand how to approach a scene, make stronger musical choices, and build a score that supports the story without getting in the way.
I’ve scored more than 30 projects listed on IMDb, including the award winning film Galilee and the acclaimed documentary series TerrorBytes, among others. We can cover things like:
• How to approach a scene and decide what the music should do
• Spotting, timing, hit points, and working with picture
• Writing themes, motifs, textures, and underscore
• Working with directors and taking feedback
• Creating realistic mockups with virtual instruments
• Preparing cues for export, delivery, or collaboration
The goal is to help you think more clearly as a composer, make stronger dramatic choices, and feel more confident writing music for picture.
