Film Music: How to Understand, Analyse and Write it
In the art of film-making, music is the most powerful secret weapon in the industry. It has a direct line to our unconscious brain and can tell us when and where a film is set, the major narrative themes and who the characters are before we see a single moving image.

 

But how does music do this? Emma Butterworth will take you on a journey encompassing the history of music in film, the common instruments used and their narrative function, the techniques of constructing a musical cue, and how to de-code the hidden meanings in film music. Emma will also show you how to transcribe and arrange any piece of music, with tips and tricks for listening and writing.
