DATE: Tuesday 3 May
TIME: 5.30-7pm
LOCATION: Elizabeth Picture Theatre, Brisbane
Join us on Tuesday 3 May for the Music In Film workshop, presented by Screen Queensland and Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
Music can make a great film even better and for many films, a memorable score can take on a life of its own. But can producers and directors work with a film composer to create a musical accompaniment to the film that is as strong as the film itself?
Composer, arranger, conductor and film music specialist Nicholas Buc – best known as the conductor for the live in-concert world premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi – will run through how directors, producers and composers can work together to create the perfect score for screen. Drawing on his experience of writing and conducting film music, Nicholas will discuss working with a film composer and how to achieve the best results. The session will conclude with a Q&A with Nicholas Buc, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insights.
This workshop is perfect for producers, directors, composers and screen practitioners at all experience levels, interested to learn more about this process for the screen.
Please register as soon as possible to secure your spot. The workshop capacity limit is 50 people.
