Music Scoring for Visual Media

Feature your work

Each year, there are numerous opportunities to present your work. The annual Double Exposure collaboration teams composers with Media School filmmakers for a live, score-to-picture performance by Jacobs student musicians at IU Cinema while the winner of the annual Jon Vickers Film Scoring Award receives a commission to score a full-length silent film that also culminates with a live-to-picture performance at IU Cinema. 

Project Involve is a special summer collaboration where six scoring composers spend three weeks in Los Angeles writing original scores for six emerging LA filmmakers. It includes a major premiere at the ArcLight Hollywood multiplex, while HBO retains the rights to air the final films.

Live recording sessions of the best scenes written during your scoring-to-picture courses will enable you to have a robust portfolio, strengthening your unique preparation for a career pursuing your passion.
