Film Music and Audiovisual Project (W3069)

30 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

In this module you'll learn to write music for films and audiovisual media. You'll gain a critical understanding of the nature of screen media and the demands placed on music.

This is your chance to really delve, both creatively and critically, into an area of film music and audiovisual relationships of special interest to you, and to develop a portfolio.

The module explores different approaches to scoring traditional narrative films, and expands to consider music practice in relation to a range of other audiovisual modes, such as documentary, experimental film, music video and live video art.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 30 hours of contact time and about 270 hours of independent study. The 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
