examples of some lecture topics
I discuss the the bolder choice of dark-gothic film noir style for this movie.
How the studio wanted something more conventional but thanks to director supporting my vision we get a much better result for the overall film and story arc.
In depth look at the theme and orchestration of a particular score and scene. How descending story arc can play a role in a descending theme.
Every scene needs musical inspiration. Sometimes this can be found by drawing from the events and location around you.
