The second course in a two-part series, Music Composition for Film and TV 2 teaches you to write music in the style of Hollywood films and TV programs. The course explores specific genres of film and television music, including drama, comedy, moderate-intensity action, action hero, action villain, and action adventure music.
You will learn to analyze each genre in terms of melody, harmony, counterpoint, tempo, rhythm, and orchestration, forming a template that you can then apply to your own writing. The course traces the logistical path of a musical idea from initial concept to final recording, including composition, orchestration, recording, and editing. In addition, this music composition course addresses long-term form in film and TV, discussing how themes and variations are organized over the course of a full-length project. The course features music from the biggest composers in Hollywood, including John Williams, James Horner, James Newton Howard, Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Sylvestri, Marco Beltrami, Aaron Zigman, and Alf Clausen. The goal of the course is to give you a thorough understanding of the compositional styles used in Hollywood projects, in addition to arming you with a portfolio of film and TV music that you can use as demos.
