Dr. Norman Ludwin: Hollywood Film Music
Film Scoring Academy of Europe
ThinkSpace Education
University of California Los Angeles Extension Film Department
My seminar’s title is "Hollywood Film Music” and examines various orchestration and composition topics.
The orchestration discussion points include the role of the contemporary orchestrator, the tools one needs, the workflow between composer and orchestrator, getting started in the business, and orchestration versus ghost writing. We will continue with analysis of cues by Michael Giacchino and, time permitting, Bernard Herrmann and John Williams.
I will also be discussing the development of material, thematic use, harmonic language, differing film music aesthetics internationally, commercial demands versus the composer’s personality, and the challenges that library music poses for the modern composer.
We will finish with Q and A from the attendees.
