REQ: Domestika Music Theory and Scoring for Film

Learn how to score a film collaboratively, using your music to convey a feeling and tell the story.
A brilliant film score can make or break a film. It sets the scene for happiness, sadness, tension, and everything in between. Juan Dussán and Alex Wakim specialize in writing and producing music for a wide range of narrative films, advertisements, and shows. For them, scoring isn’t just about the music but the collaboration. Music helps tell the story, not drive it —making communication with your team of creatives essential.

In this online course, Juan and Alex teach how to incorporate a collaborative approach to your film scoring. You will learn how to create music from start to finish, all the while communicating with your fellow creatives. Discover the fundamental tools and knowledge to develop modern and original music ideas!
