What makes a good cue? A case study scoring Skeet with Andrew Staniland (3pm start)
We all know what we like and don’t like when it comes to music. But is there any consensus on what makes a good cue? With this question in mind, Composer Andrew Staniland will lead a workshop examining the score to SKEET, focusing on a scene scored a few different ways. We will discuss the transformative impact that music can have on story and emotion through the lenses of music to picture enhancement, compositional craft, creativity & originality, pacing, and production quality.
