More than ever, music is a fundamental component of a film's emotional force. In this course, we'll explore what's behind the best film scores of today. Anecdotes and audiovisuals will introduce us to veterans, including John Williams (Star Wars), Thomas Newman (American Beauty), Hans Zimmer (Interstellar), Rachel Portman (Emma), and the leading composers of a fantastic new generation, like Jonny Greenwood (The Power of the Dog), and Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist). With regards to those who have won the recent Oscars, we’ll offer insights into what makes these scores resonate with audiences and Academy voters.
