The unit builds upon the technical skills and media experience established in the first semester to consider more permanent principles and values of Film and its music. This involves response to narrative techniques, genre, acting, larger-scale compositional architecture, orchestration and sound synthesis. The unit also provides tutorial support in the composer's contribution to an original film made in collaboration with the Drama department from conception to final cut and public screening. This unit also confronts predicaments and issues to be encountered by students should they go on to enter the field of professional film music composition.
