THE CREATIVE EXPERIENCE: DIRECTOR AND COMPOSER, A COLLABORATION
The most celebrated movies are unimaginable without their iconic music and sound design: “Jaws,” “Star Wars,” “Casablanca,” “E.T.” Without the auditory effect behind such films, their impact is greatly diminished. The music and sound help carry the emotion of scenes, and help tie a film together.
There is an important marriage that exists between the filmmaker and music composer/sound designer. How do the two worlds communicate during both pre-production and post-production?
Meet Director Eric Latek and Music Composer/Sound Designer Mauro Colangelo who will discuss the nature of the collaboration between the visual and auditory forms. Showing various examples of the films they have worked on together, Eric and Mauro will discuss the aesthetic of how music cues are created.
Takes place on Wednesday, August 7th in the afternoon at 1:00 p.m.; free for filmmakers, tkts on a first-come, first-served basis.
Moderated by Steven Feinberg, Executive Director, RI Film & Television Office.
