Film composer

Teaching takes place in close collaboration with the National Film School of Denmark, where you work together with other film production professionals through joint projects, exercises and courses.

Your major subject, film composition, is taught primarily in Copenhagen and partly at the film school.

The film school has four programmes: Animation, Fiction, Documentary and Games. You will be introduced to composing and producing music for these different media during your education.

The focus of the major is on the following:

• Music as co-narrator: Music is an integral part of the narrative and artistic vision.
• Skill development: You will learn to compose and edit music for film, TV and games.
• Own artistic voice: Emphasis is placed on developing your personal artistic identity and creative practice.
• Artistic collaboration and direction: Focus on collaborating with the director, editor and sound editor in creating the music for a project.

From day one, you are expected to show responsibility for both your own work and the projects you create with your fellow students. There are high demands on self-management and teamwork skills. It is a requirement that you are fluent in Danish, both written and spoken, as teaching is conducted in Danish.

The teaching includes:

• Creating and collaborating on music for film, animation and game projects at The National Film School of Denmark.
• Classes and solo lessons.
• Major in film composition through 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th semester
• Orchestration and arrangement in 1st, 2nd and 4th semesters.
