(Berklee Guide). Learn the business, process, and procedures of writing music for film, television, and other forms of media. This book goes step-by-step through the Berklee approach to the art of film scoring. In tracing the evolution of film music from its early silent film origins to today's contemporary practices, you will understand the conventions of the medium and gain a solid grounding for how to approach creating your own evocative scores.
