Course Description

Instructor: Emanuel Abramovits

So far from those days when music was the least acknowledged component of a film’s emotional force, we’ll explore the Why of film music and the philosophies that dictate its use in the present world of modern theater halls, subscription channels, television series, social media and video games. We’ll understand the process, the show-biz aspects and the significance of film composing, heightening our awareness of every other aspect of films. With anecdotes, stories and superb audiovisuals, we’ll explore the music of Thomas Newman (Skyfall), Hans Zimmer (Interstellar), Rachel Portman (Emma), Steve Jablonsky (Transformers), Justin Hurwitz (La La Land) and some more of the composers who are allowing us “ to see the films with new eyes and hear the films with new ears”.
